March 17th, 2010

My first attempt at capturing star trails . . . this is an on-going experiment that you'll see more of in the coming days. I'd say it was a success, but I want to do some more testing and playing. The bright dots you see in sort of a pattern are jets and planes that few across the lens while it was recording. This is a fun project and am making many discoveries about this sort of work!

Captured with the Tamron 28-80mm. Shot at a shutter speed of 10 seconds ever 15 seconds for an hour and a half. 362 frames were then blended together in Photoshop for the final shot you see here. The benefit of doing it this way as opposed to a very long exposure is a lot less digital noise. ISO is down to 100.
