Yeah, I'd try this but I have no tripod. Awesome shot(s) though.

Might I ask how you did that? I've done some looking into it and have attempted, but have not been successful in doing so. This is a beautiful shot!

this has to be done with multiple exposures. Star trails like this take many minutes of exposure, so multiple images are taken and then layered to create this effect. The foreground can be taken in one exposure, which is the only way to ensure that it is sharp. If you want to try night photography, you will need a tripod and cable release. Use a wide angle lens (16mm) set the ISO to 1600 (higher if you desire but that may create nose) aperture to 2.8. This will produce a shutter speed of about 20 seconds. If you want star trails, you will need to reduce your ISO or close your aperture. So if you reduce your ISO to 100, you will require an exposure of about 160 seconds at 2.8. If you stop down the aperture to f11, you will need an exposure of 2560 second or about 43 minutes. I suggest you recalculate the exposure settings and use a combination that will give you 10 minute exposures. Be aware that the saving time for long exposures is extensive. Take images over a period of about 2 hours then layer them for the effect you want.
