First Attempt at Star Trails
Jan 31, 2018 21:49:03 #
I shot this from my back yard a few weeks ago. It is my first attempt so please let me know what you think.
I used a Nikon D3300 with a Tamron 16-300mm lens. I used an intervalometer set for 30 seconds. It is a compilation of 110 shots. My aperture was F/3.5 and my ISO was 400. I edited and layered all the shots using Photoshop, DXO Optics Pro, and StarStax. Hope you like it!

Nice Matthew!
I like how the roof frames the bottom, and the tree appears light painted.
I shoot a D3300 myself, and use an Intervalometer for time lapse runs.
Caution though. Star Trails and Orion lead me down an expensive adventure into Astrophotography.
It's the most fun I've ever had in the backyard with my clothes on....

Thank you! I really want to learn how to do time lapse with an itervalometer, but I don't know what software to use. What do you use?
And yeah, I know. My equipment so far is my D3300, Tamron 16-300mm lens, Nikon 18-55mm, Manfrotto tripod, monopod, assorted filters, and an intervalometer.
I would love to get better lenses, tripods, and other equipment, but I currently do not have the money.
I love astrophotography, especially of the milky way. I even want to get a sky tracker. But again, too much money right now.

It can be really easy.
You have the camera, an Intervalometer, and have collected a pile of pictures.
Since you run a Nikon, I'll go out on a limb and say you are probably a Windows user. I hope so anyway.
Windows Movie Maker is what I use. https://www.windows-movie-maker.org/ And... it's FREE!
So hopefully you can download and install a copy, then get familiar with it.
Once you have it up and running (very easy), you can add pictures, create captions, and adjust the time each frame is displayed.
It's user friendly, so just pick around in it and have fun. In no time, you'll build a movie from your stills.
If you need help, I invite you to PM me and we can figure out what your stuck on.
Then, publish on Youtube. That way you can build a place to share your time-lapse movies.
I think it was Jim in Albugquirky that pointed me to Windows Movie Maker.
