Sleeping with One Eye Open
Star trails over the fields of Burnt Hills, with a little mist in the distance.
I usually shoot night timelapse so the stars are over exposed, to better show the Milky way, or just so you can see more stars overall. This makes the timelapse video a little more interesting, but it causes problems when stacking. Mainly the lack of colour in the star trails. (which I'd really like to have in any star trail photo) One of these nights I'm going to try camera settings that will give me good colour in the star trails. (I haven't really done this yet because I like to get more "bang for my buck" and bringing the exposure down will likely make the timelapse no good as a video, hopefully I'm wrong there)
I made this time stack by combining 423 photos into one image.
