Artist's Comments

The idea was to have the star trails reflected but in practice I would have had to take another half an hour of photos to expose the light in the water correctly. I wasn't about to do that on this cold night.
BTW heeeeman :iconheeeeman: has done a couple of great star shots here [link] and here [link]
The method here is the same as my pic Shooting Stars. Link below.If you have questions check the coments beow that pic as I may have answered them already :)

70 RAW photos. Base shot 3 minutes at F7 200 iso in half moon light. then 69 shots at F4 and 30 seconds. Batch converted in Rawshooter to 69 37mb tiffs.. do the math..over 2 Gig of pixels. Then combines using startrails.exe

Sounds hard but all this is mostly automated. Then I combined the base shot with the sky shot, cleaned up digital noise and adjusted levels and foreground colours.

That looks awesome! I love the reflection in the lake, and I think it's best this way, without so much in the lake... makes it seem more... reflection-y (made up a word, again... vote for me for president).

Great done.

read the comments on the other pic... you need noise reduction off and multiple 30sec exposures and the startrails program.... makes it all safe and easy!
