Locomotive Springs

The other day, my friend Doug and I made a quick, last minute trip out to Locomotive Springs.  The intent was to hang out around the old buildings and catch the sunset.  Well, we got there and main gate was closed, so we had to walk the rest of the way in.  Out of a bit of laziness, I decided to leave my bag of gear in the car and grabbed my G16, S120, a tripod, and a Fat Gecko.  The wind was blowing pretty hard and the clouds were cruising by, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to play around with the Star Time Laps and Star Trail modes on these cameras.  Turns out it was a good choice.  I found a spot to set up the S120 on the Fat Gecko and started a time lapse and then used the G16 in Star Trail mode to capture the movement of the clouds.  It was a lot of fun, and I think the results are pretty cool.  Especially considering these came from a point and shoot camera.
