Celestial trails
Continuing my experiments with photographing star trails, I took reduced the ISO to 800 and increased the shutter speed to 30 secs in this series of shots that I took in a place with relatively dark skies. The result was quite surprising with much more colour in the star trails than my earlier effort (ISO 3200). The colour of the trail varies with the temperature of the star. The streak to the lower right of centre was a shooting star.

The photos were taken at Hyams Beach, Australia.
f/4 30sec ISO 800 16mm Pentax 16-50mm DA Pentax K-5
Have a wonderful new week!
Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves.
The photo in the first comment is my earlier star trails photo. The photos for it were also taken Hyams Beach at ISO 3200.
