I don't mind doing long star trails in my garden when I can just set the camera up, let the timer run and retreat into the warm to watch tv.

Living right under the end of the transatlantic flight lane does spoil it a bit though.

Love it....
How long an exposure is that roughly ?

Went out to local park earlier tonight to try a little light painting, here's the results, it's all a learning curve for me

Thanks. Its 88 x 2 minute exposures stacked so that works out as 3 hours worth of star trails.

I want to try this effect of train tracks next with the trails of light from the train but closer, there's a nice one a few pages back.

Ah it's some photoshop technique then isn't it, gotta get myself clued up and get some myself a snide copy of this, great effect those star trails, nice pic.

You can get free stacking software or you can do it as one long exposure

Not Photoshop. I use Light room 3 to process the raw files but the stacking was done in this free program.

To begin you could just shoot in Jpeg and simply sack them in that program straight out the camera.

Cheers mate, will give this a try.

Having a bit more of a play the other night, i don't think this one turned out too bad?, but many of the shots had reflections in the sky above the lights?
