Star trails trial
Being wanting to try a star trail photo for a while, finally got a clear night so grabbed the opportunity. This is my first attempt and due to a mis-understanding on how my interval timer worked, I ended up with a gap in the middle of the trails, the moon also encroached into the frame near the end. Things to remember for next time. The hardest part was standing in the cold for so long, I think I will take a flask with me next time.
The two very bright stars on the bottom right of the sky are actually planets, Venus on the bottom and Saturn on the top. This is taken from the island of Vigra in Norway, with the small island of Erkna visible.
This is 76 photos taken over 38 minutes merged together.
Equipment
Nikon D7000 @ 30 sec
Sigma 18-200 @ 18mm f/3.5
ISO: 1000
Shot with a tripod
