When I Think,

of night time long exposure photography,

 I always think of the subject being stars, or say fireworks,

 but there are other sources of light,

 that can be captured in the night sky,

 the trails left by aeroplanes,

 as they land and take off,

 and that is what this photographer, 

  Pete Mauney did, his photographs capture the streaks of light that are seen as the landing lights of aircraft come in to land or take off blaze across the night sky, using a long exposure, he also uses a flash gun to expose ground based subjects and position himself above calm environments, Mauney will have an upcoming solo exhibition at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts (Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild) in Woodstock, New York from July 5, 2019 to August 18, 2019, You can see more of Mauney’s images, of both flying planes and darting insects, on his website and Instagram, I have to admit I had never thought of using a long exposure to photograph aircraft trails, what a neat idea.
