When Stars Align

Charles Niautou Photography posted a photo:

Star Trails can take many hours to capture and Mother Nature is in control during this time, so if clouds roll in, your night can get ruined. Thankfully the sky stayed cloud free for the 2 hours that this composite image took to capture and the rising Moon gave a warm soft glow to the foreground during the last hour. I?ve driven past this place many time in the Scenic Rim and it?s only been lately that I?ve taken an interest in these two deciduous trees on a fence line and thought about doing a Star Trails image here.

Bursting force of the Big Bang

DAY 2 - LONESOME TREE UNDER STAR TRAILS

Lonesome tree under star trails

As much as I love capturing the Milky Way by itself as well as the meteor shower along with it, creating star trails is always fun and exciting although it demands a lot of patience.

Well, if you look at my feed, I am sure that you already know that. I attempt at it at every chance I get. Unless Mother Nature doesn?t cooperate.

I was super excited about the opportunity that night. The openness offered a clear view of the entire sky above the horizon, which was perfect for capturing the Milky Way by itself (please refer to the last two posts). And the lonesome tree was certainly a focal point under the thousands of little streaks that shot up across the heavenly body as they traverse diagonally.

The color gradation that occurs due to the fact that it?s started early and then it gets quite dark by the time when the Milky Way reaches the opposite side of the frame. And the clump of trails of the galactic core leaves behind is always fascinating to look at. As if the bursting force of the Big Bang were captured.

My attempt to throw in a bit of colors in the foreground resulted in the rocks and the trunk of the lonesome tree painted red. And I liked the fact that it was subtle.?

Lands End Milky Way

Now my 3nd Attempt of the Milkyway .
First time shooting with my 16mm Fish eye at night.

unfortunately I still had clouds and seagulls to contend with.
but rather an exciting photo for me.

Lands end is one of the best places iv admired the stars in the Uk.
much better than my 2nd Attempt in Exmoor.
