On Thursday I stayed up late to try my hand a shooting some night shots. In particular, I was interested in trying to capture Star Trails, an effect that I had seen on the Internet.
The awesome effect is created by leaving the shutter open for a long period from a few minutes to a few hours capturing the movement of the stars as they travel across the night sky. An excellent example is this shot created by Josch Hambsch.After attempting for a while and not succeeding, I decided that there was too much light from the moon so I would have to wait for a moonless night.
Instead I turned my attention to the moon (that little attention seeker) and got these two shots that I'm pretty happy with.
Not a wasted night after all :)
