Cemetery star trails

[lukebl]

Took a trip to the local cemetery (Banham, Norfolk, UK) this evening, to have a go at some star trails.

This is 15 minutes of 30 second exposures, ISO 1600, Canon 700d, Samyang 8mm fisheye at f/5.6. Processed in Startrails.

Luckily, I don't think I freaked anyone out in the darkness. The police didn't turn up, anyway.

I am amazed you didn't get blown away or was Norfolk calmer than Essex?

It was very blowy, but I have a sturdy tripod!

I like the grading in the lower sky.

Very nice. I'm surprised the foreground isn't brighter.

It's a dark place, half a mile out of the village with no street lights!

The police turn up?  Not a ghost of a chance.  It's dead quiet there.

I'll, err, get me coat

I see something very similar on the way home from the pub on Fridays. Sometimes the police do turn up.....

Nice image.

(Village) Cemetery observation can be very peaceful... Once you
get use to odd Fox Screams and (tiny?) fauna "fighting it out"? lol.
You can guarantee the human "baddies" would never venture... 

Still lol-ing at Eastenders (soap) reenactment of "Burke & Hare"!

It must be. I usually find long exposure photographs for star trails usually brings up even the darkest foregrounds. In fact that can add to the atmosphere. Especially so in a graveyard I would have thought.
