My first Startrails

120 shoots - 24mm - f/2.8 - ISO100 - 30"

One good thing about 100% cloudless sky (and living at the top of a mountain) is, it gave me a good chance to try out some startrails photo that I've been wanting to shoot but didn't have much luck back in the east coast (near the city, too much light pollution!).

This is actually my 2nd attempt (tried one back at home a couple of months ago) but the one that's somewhat decent to post. There's really not much composition in this one, just want to get a decent startrails first. Now, I gotta go find some interesting foreground that doesn't have much light pollution at night......

Startrails

This gorgeous photograph, taken in the Atacama Desert in Chile, shows star trails circling the South Celestial Pole, over a cacti-dominated still landscape. The star trails show the apparent path of the stars in the sky as the Earth slowly rotates, and are captured by taking long-exposure shots.

At a warm November evening in Joshua Tree NP I started my second startrail project (ever) at this perfect location. For this try I prepared my camera with a batterygrip to provide enough power for 300 exposures. Myself I prepared with 3 trowsers, 2 jackets and some beer to stay 2 and a half hours beneath my camera. The time flied, but unfortunately the batterygrip (nut original Nikon) lost energy contact somehow and the camera stopped taking pictures. So, the result was only 155 single exposures. At home I stacked them together with stratrails.de software.

Here some technical details: NIKON D80 + SIGMA 10-20mm at 10mm.

155 exposures à 30 seconds

ISO-1600

and a little work to remove the airplanes :-/

I do like a good star trail but thought I'd try something a bit different with this one.

Vorgestern Abend habe ich mal wieder unseren Brunsberg besucht.

Der 2/3 Mond und der frisch gefallene Schnee erhellten das gesamte Areal.

Dieses Foto ist mein erstes "StarTrail" Photo. Weil es sich hier nur um einen Versuch handelt, sind es in diesem Falle nur 5 Bilder à 3min Belichtungszeit. Daher sind die Trails auch vergleichsweise kurz.

2 nights ago, I visited our local "mountain", the Brunsberg.

It was a bright (2/3 moon) cold cold night after the first snow fall this year. The moon and the snow lit up the scenery.

This is my first little "startrail" image, which was only a test and was therefore only created out of 5 images with 3 minutes exposure each. This is also the reason why the trails are quite short.

Please also visit www.AndreMeyer.de.

Made from the same frames used to make the movie. All the light is added to the final image, one frame had Joan shining a light in the middle of the night that added to all frames.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - While I slept in my tent, I left my camera to shoot startrails in the grassy field at Steel Creek Campground. The 91% full moon illuminated Roark Bluff along the Buffalo River. This shows the stars apparent motion in 3 hours time.

Taken from Oxfordshire, UK with a Canon 1100D with Canon 10-18mm lens, using a mains power cable for the camera and a home made battery powered dew band to prevent the lens from fogging up. Lots of thin cloud moved through the field of view during the 4 hour session but the stars are still visible through that. There are only 3 aircraft trails which is a big reduction due to the current travel restrictions.

ISO-800 for 30 seconds at f/4.5, images taken on continuous from 22:00 BST - 02:00 BST.

Images processed in Lightroom, then stacked using StarStaX. Final tweaks to the stacked image using Fast Stone Image Viewer.

2 hours in a muddy cold dark field turned out to be time well spent!

Here is the Racton Ruins Startrails image. A few peolpe have asked to see it. I think it looks a bit messy. I'm happy with it but i think i know how to improve on this image.

While I was shooting star trails up north the Aurora borealis was seen! What an amazing combination!
