Startrail
First night without clouds in months.
Just learning this technique...
My settings: ISO 200, f4.0 15s with 15s spaces between shots, 450 stacked photos in total. The large gaps are moments when I either had to change the battery or put a new card in the camera. I also deleted two sections of shots where clouds moved in fast, this also created a couple of gaps in the trails.
Finally, I didn't like the intensity of the magenta fringes on the blurry tree's edges so I added a desaturation layer in photoshop, reducing the saturation of magenta and blue. When I did this (the blue levels) I noticed that the intensity of the trails increased, so it was a nice accident.
