Midnight Highlights
My 12th attempt at star trails pictures, this one looking East with the 34% moon setting in the West. This ruin is know as the Midnight Oil House and was made famous by Ken Duncan's photo which appeared on the cover artwork for Midnight Oil's 1987 album Diesel And Dust. The ruin is situated just north of Burra, South Australia, and is on private property so photographers usually can't get too close! With the rolling hills in the background it is still a popular subject for photographers, and another arrived as this sequence was being taken, highlighting the house and foreground. Trucks passing with high beams provided some addidtional lighting. About 3 hours of shots, this is the first time I have tried the Fujifilm X-T20 with star trails, using an intervalometer to shoot 3 minute shots at ISO200, 21mm Samjang lens at f/1.4, processed in Lightroom with daylight white balance for star colour and merged with a lighten blend in Photoshop.
