Description

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.
Thanks to brentbat :iconbrentbat: for his help and advice.

I've seen images like this one in NatGeo, and I've noticed this is not easy to get. This is a nice scenario, stars and sky, only 3 colours in the scheme ! Blue, Browns, Greys. Nice composition and perspective, it's ellegant, you combine well the night, stars and tranquility of scenario adding the technique of frames and timing exposure offering a good photo. This is expressive photo, deceives tranquility, some ellegance and the technique makes it interesting, I imagine without the stars effect this would be just "ellegant" without "interesting" (with the risk to be bored). Maybe in wide format could be better but is enough, I've seen excellent works like this on magazines, internet and books too.
