This is the type of photograph you capture when you know what you are doing! Wonder if I'll ever get there? In the meantime, I thank you for sharing this with us--it's beautiful.

Yes, it's good, isn't it. Why are so many of the stars blue?
Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

Warner Strauss says:

Very Cool Shot! Did you light paint the house or was that just ambient light? You also must have had no moon light at all. The clarity and contrast of the star trails is fantastic.

f1sh2006 says:

Sorry,I do not believe this...

ONE HOUR EXPOSURE??? Full eclipse of the stars?
Not possible!!

Normaly this will take at least 7 to 8 hours. Film or digital that is the same .

When I am wrong you will tell me:)

Nice picture but not real.
Posted 32 months ago. ( permalink )

azem says:

@ f1sh2006: - I took several 30secs exposures within app. an hour which I later stacked together and got this image... I don't care if you believe it or not, but this IS about an hour.

sph1970 says:

i love it, i took one in india (see my pics) and left the shutter open for nearly fifty minutes and the trails are about the same length. what programme did you use to stack them up? the building really makes it.
