Castle Hill startrails
So I don't generally do startrail type images - it's a bit of a choice between that for an hour and a half or a lot of panoramas.. but there was something really quite satifying about sticking the camera up and then wandering around chatting to the other photographers nearby, not worrying about whether hte composition was right, or if I should try a different spot... too late by then, just sit back and enjoy the show!
Quite a few shooting stars too, not that many came across in the images (just one satellite cloned out, but he was too impatient to wait until I'd finished shooting..)
This is 140ish shots blended in Photoshop, with an extra light-painted one for the foreground.
If anyone wants to learn this or milky way panoramas, we have another workshop on July 1st-3rd, again at Castle Hill, Canterbury, NZ, so flick me a message or email me at: james@nightscapes.nz
