Star Trail Photography Trip, Startrail first try
7 images stacked to make this exposure. Each shot was a 4 minutes exposure
These three images are the same, it is just post processed differently
Star trails from last night in my backyard!
199 minutes, 398 pictures stacked and no further editing.
75 minutes' worth of 30-second exposures (each 18mm*1.6, f/3.5, ISO1600), stacked with startrails.exe
A small plea for help, and explanation of why it's soft and blurry: I set up the camera and tripod, enabled "mirror lockup mode", and locked down the button on my cable release. Then I went inside and watched a movie. I came back outside, and it hadn't taken any pictures. I'm sure the button was locked down that whole time, because I had to unlock it after realizing that no pictures had been taken. Was I doing something wrong? This is a Canon 450D, by the way.
Anyway, not wanting to be left empty-handed, I re-disabled mirror lockup, then locked the button down again, and forgot to wipe the condensation off of the lens - that's why it's so soft and blurry.

Approx 150 x 30 second shots merged in Photoshop
The tree & grass are lit up more than the rest of the hills due to a car headlight that was captured in one of the frames.
I've been a bit quiet photographically of late, and thought that it was about time I changed that.
It was such a beautiful crisp and clear night tonight that I decided to give some startrail photography again.
I was feeling lazy tonight, and couldn't be bothered with fiddling with custom white balance to get rid of the orange glare in the sky, so thought I'd try B&W for a change.
This consists of 71x individual 60 second images merged using the startrails stacking software.
Exposure was 60 secs @ f/5.6 at ISO800 shot on a Canon EOS 40D with a Sigma 10-20mm lens set at 10mm.
I tried to add a bit of detail to the house and foreground by using my Speedlite 550EX on the last shot but overcooked it somewhat and just ended up with loads of flare as condensation was just starting to form on the UV filter.
Hope you like it.
Image generated using 51 shots of 3 mins exposure shot over night. If you have a canon camera you must try Magic Lantern, you don't need to buy intervalometer. Besides intervalometer, magic lantern adds many more feature like trap focus, upto 9 AEB shots for HDR etc.
