Bungielad Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi all, iv been trying to photograph star trails lately but with no joy, iv read loads of tutorials but still dont get it right? When trying I have gone as low as iso 100 but still after 5 minutes sub the picture comes out over exposed? I was wondering, do you get the trails by taking shorter exposures and lots of them, then when stacking it gives the trail effect?Iv read in articles ....the longer the exposure, the longer the trails, but when I do long exposures it comes out over exposed?Any advice would be great, Cheers, Bungielad.

Photosbykev Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 You have too much light pollution for very long exposures so you need to take a number of shorter correctly exposed images and then blend them in software, something like the Startrails.exe linked to above is fine. Some other tips you might find useful are here http://www.photosbykev.com/wordpress/2014/01/18/star-trail-photography/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
