Star Trails

[Orionthehunter]

Here is a simple Star Trail image, it was done by point the camera lens at the star polaris and keeping the shutter open for around 10 mins.

Camera used Canon 300D
Iso 800
Static Tripod
Editted in Photoshop 7

Hope you like it.

Hi James,

It looks really cool. Please show more. But just wondering, don't mind me asking, how come you are using ISO800? Why not use lower ISO so that you can get longer trails?

Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Good shot, although the branches/trees could be framed better. Nice colours though. You used a f8 or smaller aperture?
Whats the streaks/lines at the bottom?

That center star is Polaris, for ur info, Singapore and Malaysia cannot see Polaris cos it wiil always below the horizon..

 

[hueyyy]

what about taiwan, specifically taipei? do you think its possible there? uhm..and whats the best time to take these stars?

The Polaris (or the north star) is slightly more than 1 deg above the horizon.
Why? Singapore is slightly more than 1 deg above the equator, hence the polaris is also slightly more than 1 deg above the horizon (an easy way to know how high the Polaris is above the horizonin any location)
