眼底星空

A shot out of the kitchen window one night when I was unable to sleep (becos of a headache). Sorry for the bad composition because I dun have a tripod.. Could only rest the camera on the window sill while using 30sec shutter.. Hence the ugly wall and window panes..

Looking at the night sky into the vast blackness of infinity just makes one feel so small... And those little spots of ethereal light makes my mind wonder... how far away are these stars? How long did it take for the light to reach me? 10years? Or a 1000years? Do these stars still exist? Is there life out there? Is there a purpose to this vast infiniteness that we call the Universe? Sometimes I try to think of answers. Sometimes I just let the wonder wash over me...

Sometimes I also wonder whether anyone else is looking at the sky at the same moment, thinking the same thoughts.....but i guess not bah..only I'm so boliao..

composition's not really bad u know, the window and walls projects tt i'm-looking-out-into-the-universe kind of feeling..
just tt due to e long exposure, the outline of the wall is slightly jagged due erm i dunno diffraction of light..
did u control iso?
