Nimbus Star Trail

[Scott™]

Right I've been wanting to perfect this shot for such a long time.

Finally tonight I think I might have it. Usually the cloud roles in half way through the night or my mate starts winging that he's cold. So without either of these factors I took 120 images (1 hour) and stacked them to create this...

Let me know what you think...

Just thought I'd say you take some incredible photos! I've just favorited quite a few off your flikr

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Yup.

 

[Zmaster2k]

Nice very cool indeed!

So 119 shots then one with flash? How long did you expose each shot for?

 

[chriscummins7]

Wow, Scott that's incredible!!

120 shots / 1hr (60 mins) = 30 seconds each

I reckon the first or the last one (maybe two as 30 seconds is still quite short) was lit with a torch to expose the car.


Scott, have you tried the new StarStax with the gap filler...? I'm guessing not looking at full res.

120 Images at 30 seconds and then one final shot to light my car.

Rob no I haven't mate. Will have to check it out!

comments like these make the hour in the cold worth it

That's a great picture I never used to like nimbus but it's grown on me so much, it's a classy colour.

 

[ch!ppen]

Awesome, as per

 

[Scott™]

Thanks chaps

Great shot, although the clarity on the car is lacking a little or is that just my pony work screen?

Your work monitor. Its crystal on my 27" Mac.

Looks amazing mate!

I like is Scott, can I ask?

What camera
What lens
What ISO settings
Do you use a infinity focus setting
And any other info like white balance etc

I ask because I was also out that night trying the same but without the car in shot, and the results were crap.

Great photography mate, keep it up.

I have seen it, just wanted his own setting to compare to mine.

Sorry I looked again and found most of this info.
