Just this day finished reading an article about night sky photography, then I find this!! What a perfect sample VJ, instantly faved. Must have been a tad dark out there doing all this =)
VJ Spectra (48 months ago | reply)
Thanks all!
Yes ducktourer it was pretty black with no moon around and only starlight. Having a 2 million candlepower torch helps though ;-)

Beautiful composite!
Rob Featonby (48 months ago | reply)
excellent image - well planned and executed, makes for a complete image not just gimmicky startrails.
...Damian... (48 months ago | reply)
Gorgeous shot, I guessed it was a composite looking at the stars, great job, very effective.
VJ Spectra (48 months ago | reply)
Thanks guys ;-)
I am starting to realise that many people look at a my images and dont realise that planning is a very important part of the whole process behind a photo....there is more involved than just showing up and going "click".
I always strive to think outside the square and have a definite idea or style in mind before even pressing the shutter. I wanted to share this info as shots like this need pre planning for both taking the photo and also thinking in terms of post production workflows afterwards.
I find it very satisfying to plan for an image and then have the final photo come out close to my preconception of what I was intending to produce.
Thanks to everyone for their kind words and encouragement and a special thanks to those that do notice the little extra effort I go to ;-)
