Avoncroft-Windmill-Star-Trails

This is the Windmill at the Avoncroft Museum of historic buildings in Bromsgrove.

 

Taken with Canon 450D, Sigma 10-20mm @10mm, Iso 400, F5.6.

 

3 bursts from flash gun on last of the 30 second exposures. One either side of the camera, and one central.

 

I forgot to change the ISO from 400 (for flashing at first exposure) to ISO800 for the trails. So there are less trails than I would have liked, the fainter stars did not show up.

 

Total exposure is 1 hour, stacked from 30 second exposures.

 

Getting the composition right in pitch darkeness took ages!

 

All positive and negative feedback regarding lighting , composition ect very much appriciated!
