  • "That is a truly great shot!"
  • "Beautiful, interesting image. A real compression of time. My husband and I both enjoyed looking at it. 123nj"
  • "Great effect!123nj"
  • "Holy Shit! Thats determination! I think I would have whipped out the film camera for this one.123 NJ"
  • "Mike Jones,Thank you! Ive tried star trails on my old film camera using Fuji Provia 100. I never really did get great results from it though. I feel like the method I used on my dSLR allows for greater control over exposure. Once youve got the exposure correct for the first image, youre set for the rest of them. The merging was done automatically in Photoshop with a script so it wasnt much of a hassle. It just took over an hour...Eric"
  • "damn! beautiful AND scientific! good things do come to those who wait. 123 nj"
  • "cool.... thats a lot of trail "
  • "why did you take 266 images? Seen in Very Long Exposure 30 seconds or more ?"
  • "With the multiple exposure method, you have much much greater control over the exposure. Once you expose for the sky and stars in the first picture, youre good for the rest of the pictures. On the other hand, if you do one single exposure, you risk it blowing out the sky. Take a look at some of my older star trails and youll see what I mean. Also, the battery might die in the middle of the shot, so with the multi exposure method, youll have shots up to that point, while the single exposure method, youll have nothing."
  • "Thank you very much for your explanation. I have to try with this technique. SORRY for my worst englishSeen in my recent comments. ?"
