The consolation prize for sitting on the side of the road for 5 hours waiting for an aurora that didn't show
Taking many pictures for capturing the Perseid Meteors, the rest of the pictures can be used for a Startrail.
Four hours of Earth's rotation with aurora. Taken with a 15mm fish eye lens. We spin at 1600kms per hour. No wonder the days seem to go by so fast!
I posted a single image of this scene a while back, from a timelapse sequence. I decided to try startrails for the first time. This is Lake Superior near the Porcupine Mountains,MI.

Cathedral Peak, Yosemite National Park, Ca.
After a nice afternoon thunder storm the skies cleared up almost immediately by dusk. Perfect for some startrails. Unfortunately the North Star was off to far to the left from Cathedral Peak (which is what I wanted in the image). The light glow on the horizon is NOT lights from Owens Valley - it's the near full super Moon rising (here it was still at least an hour away from rising).

Star Trails showing the movement of the Earth in relation to the Stars above St Andrews Church Greensted near Chipping Ongar in Essex. The picture is made up from 305 x 15 second exposures stacked on top of each other to create the effect.

Its a freezing cold night here in Ireland with a clear sky and virtually no wind - perfect for hunting for star trails. I had two locations in mind - this is the second of the two and a familiar subject, I've photographed the Horseman on many occasions this year.
My take on star trails is pretty much the same as everyone else - there are two popular techniques, a single long exposure or multiple exposures combined in Photoshop. Each of these has its place. The single exposure is good for shooting in near darkness with no strong light sources. Multiple exposures are necessary if there are additional light sources that will possibly blow-out in a long exposure (street or window lights etc).
This is a single 30 minute Exposure. Shot in RAW and converted in PS, the image is pretty much straight from the camera (I did crop the image as some light contamination had crept into the RHS, also a simple border is added).
One of the most difficult aspects of virtual zero-light photography, is trying to get your focus right, a few test shots using a flash is helpful here - or for purists, come at dusk and set up your shot, lock down focus and wait for darkness. The exposure is down to experimentation after that, I've tested a few settings and for this shot used ISO 200 at f/5.6.
The illumination of the sculpture was created naturally as a result of ambient light coming from traffic along the N4 (no PS dodging or burning here). In total about 6 cars passed during the exposure. It was a stroke of luck to limit the exposure to 30 minutes as any additional light hitting the sculpture might have caused high-lights to blow.
More from this sitting to follow.
I've never been any good at startrails, I'm a pretty patient guy but standing around for 20minutes+ doing absolutely nothing isn't something I'd like to do on a regular basis. That particular night however was so incredibly calm and peaceful I had no trouble at all standing still for..., well, I'm not sure time passed at all that night. This is from two weeks ago as I haven't been able to go out much lately. Good thing to have tons (and I mean tons) of unprocessed stuff for backup :) I wonder why the star trail streaks are dotted, maybe because of clouds passing by?
Hay un tipo de fotografía nocturna que siempre impacta cuando la vemos. Y no es otra que incluir en nuestra composición la estrella Polar.
Como sabéis, la Tierra, gira alrededor del Sol, pero a su vez tiene una rotación sobre un eje imaginario.
Este eje, digamos, apunta al norte, por lo que si realizamos una fotografía de larga exposición con la estrella Polar en nuestra toma, lo que obtendremos será una imagen de las estrellas girando alrededor de la misma... Aunque realmente las estrellas no están girando, claro, somos nosotros.
One type of night photography that always hits when we see it. And it is none other than our composition include Polaris.
As you know, the Earth revolves around the sun, but in turn is a rotation about an imaginary axis.
This axis, say, points north, so if you take a long exposure photography with Polaris in our decision, what we will have is an image of the stars rotating around it ... Although the stars really are not turning, of course, we are.
