My First Startrail
This is my first attempt at a startrail. It consists of 200 images, each 40 seconds long with an aperture of F4.5 and ISO 400, which were stacked using 'startrails'. I also took a separate foreground image with the same aperture and ISO settings, but a longer exposure at 150 seconds. This was edited and added to the startrail image using Adobe Camera RAW and Photoshop.
I have also made a timelapse video which you can see here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRTk_cJQBTA
The camera used is a Sony NEX-5n, with the standard 16mm pancake lens, and the Sony Fisheye Converter. I found problems with this at first, as the camera doesn’t allow for a remote shutter release, but with the use of a smartphone app and a dismantled TV remote, I was able to save a lot of boredom and button pressing! bitshift.funpic.de
The location is in my garden, but now I am confident I know pretty much what I’m doing, I’ll venture out and find some better compositions! Watch this space...
