20070929 - Star Trails

Now that's more like civilised photography: the sort where you can put the iPod on and have a cup of tea and a biscuit whilst it's busy exposing. Shame I didn't take a cup of tea, or a biscuit!

Playing with my new cable-release.
Great fun, but I think it's too cold, the lens had misted over by the end of the exposure :-(

No real colours to select, except there was some magenta in the clouds, so did a gradient map to go black-blue-white. It's nearly the end of the month anyway!

Other attempts tonight...

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
643s f/9.0 at 17.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

nice color and composition. it is a bit windy, otherwise the tree will look better.
