Startrails
Someone on flickr had this beautiful picture of startrails.
After seeing how he did it, I immediately got up, went to a field behind my house as far away from any street light and set my trusty camera and tripod up. I used the wide angle 10-20 mm lens for this shot, set the focus to infinity and took about 10 shots with 30 second exposure each. Then with a program called Startrail, I stacked the images together and got this.
While it's no where close to that guy's picture, I'm quite pleased with it for a first try. I plan to redo this in the next few days. I also want to figure out what makes this type of picture interesting, what am I missing, what do you like about it? Any comments would be appreciated.
I'm quite surprised about the red hue, there was no lights close by, and I made sure to shoot away from the city. The lines passing through it are also a bit of an enigma to me. Anyone care to explain?
