It was amazingly clear tonight, so I thought I'd take a crack at some star trails. Here are my attempts. Only the third one has been modified in photoshop. C&C is welcome and appreciated!
10mm, f/5.6, 109 sec, ISO 800, flash white balance
10mm, f/5.6, 278.5 sec, ISO 800, Tungsten white balance
13mm, f/5.6, 1342.8 sec, ISO 800, Tungsten white balance
I believe the yellowish color to the left is light from my house.
as you can see, it took me a bit to figure out exactly how long to keep the shutter open for.
Quick question: What's the best way to keep the shutter open in bulb mode? It was about 10 degrees outside, so my hand got numb just depressing the button in the first two, hence the short exposure. For the third one, I grabbed a roll of painters tape (no residue!) and taped the button down.
Thanks!
