Rising Stars over the Charles W. Cullen Bridge A star trail photograph was taken of the Charles W. Cullen Bridge in southern Delaware.  The composite was made of 135 fifteen second exposures.  Settings for the sub exposures were ISO 400 / 15 seconds / f/4.5 using a Canon 17-40L mm lens @ 26 mm.  The bridge is located along route 1 and spans the Indian River Inlet.  Boat traffic can be seen crossing into the Atlantic Ocean to the east of the inlet.  The series of images was taken from Delaware Seashore State Park.  The new bridge was recently dedicated with an opening ceremony on May 5, 2012.
