Description
open in fullview then make a wish?i tried doing a bunch of sky shots when i was in maine at my familys cabin last week but they kept getting washed out by clouds. this was the only one that didnt come out all blotchy. right after this shot the clouds rolled in and it stormed for 3 days.
this is 25 mins unfiltered.
curves and toning in PS along with a minor touchup on some small parts of the trees that overexposed for some reason.

Is this just a picture of you basically spinning the cammera or are some of these actually shooting stars?[I doubt the second one..but I do know there is a meteor shower currently going on from July 18-August 18th. The meteors are visible to the east after midnight.
Theres also a meteor shower through July 23- august 22. The meteors on this shower are visible to the northeast after midnight. ]

neither, the camera is sitting still and its a 25 minute exposure, the star trails are from the earth rotating. theres one shooting star in the photo at about 2o'clock towards the center. thank you also good to know, though its sooo cloudy here right now
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh okay. Thank you for replying.
And well I hope u get to see the meteor shower. The best dates to watch it are on July 28 & 29 and august 13 & 14. Those are the peak dates when their are the most meteors!

Awesome time lapse
I love star trails, its cool how the trees were lit up by light for a little while and how it came out like that. Real nice picture.

lovely shot
i saw a shooting star once and i wished on it but it never came true
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you'll hafta go find another one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh,i will
i especially like the concentric ring-like arrangement of the trails....does that have to do with the location??or is it just like that??(just wondering
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
location of? the center of the rings hover over the poles of the earth and the rings are an artifact of the earths spin. I would certainly imagine that depending on where you are on earth the center of rotations would seem to appear in different regions of the night sky.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
where you are....i was thinking that the star trails would be tighter circles closer to the poles because the movement(due to rotation) at that point would be less compared to that at the equator for example(not sure that makes sense,not really good with words)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the center of rotation isnt concerned with where on earth you are they will always be right over the poles and will appear to be moving less and less the closer you observe towards the center irregardless of your location.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so the north pole is towards the bottom right corner....
i understand
