Night Traffic

Last night I affixed my 58mm wide angle attachment to the 18-55 kit lens that came with my 300D and attempted star trails. This lens is unfortunately slow and has flaring issues when it comes to lights thus I don't use it. I didn't quite get the results I would prefer but the range increase was satisfactory. Haze was an issue as well but overall I look forward to what might be achieved with a true wide angle. The first image features the ISS carving across from behind cloud as well as numerous flaring objects. The second and third images feature a large aircraft probably coming out of Chicago that was reflecting light at just the right angle to be exceptionally bright until it banked towards the west.
