stumbling into star trails...

[WTF?]

ive recently become captivated by star trail photography and thought id give it a bit of a go, the very first time i tried them i ended up with 150ish raw 30 second exposures that nearly blew up my computer, so that put me off trying them for a little while haha. i later decided to try with fewer, longer exposures.
these are the next two of my dabbling in star trails:

1. i had another version of this one id filled in the gaps of the trails and played with the curves/brightness, but i dunno where that ended up...


2. from a recent trip to the coast, i always love how bright the stars are when theres no light pollution around.

to the second one. Take that first one down it's absolute crap by comparison!

[boogschd]

2nd one definitely :p

cant really understand whats going on with #1
maybe you should shoot again WITHOUT the big power lines thingy (whatever its called)

[WTF?]

yeah i like the 2nd one a lot better too
heres the tweaked version of the first, i think its a bit better but not as good as the second
