Star Trails- Take 4
Mar 17, 2017 13:33:01 #
OK, I'm getting the hang of this. The moon rise was happening at 11 so I shot these 30 second images starting at 8:15 and ended at 10:45. 17 mm shot at 2.8. I did the RAW adjustments using a linux program Darktable and then combined them using GIMP. After looking at the image for a while, I made it less Blue and darkened the house but left one window bright. I don't think I'll make longer trails than these.

Lovely. Star trails is definitely on my bucket list.
You should start right away! It's fun producing a image that you can't really see with your eyes.

I have to wait til my fractured arm heals enough to be able to hold my camera again. My wrist and fingers are frozen so I can't bend them yet, don't have the strength to even pick my camera up yet.

Great work Kervin!
I like them both, but I think the blue is more striking.
Now you are ready for the Grand Canyon. Have a ball! Be creative!

Wonderful work Curve. You are really getting the hang of this.
