Decided to just go crazy with this star trail image from a few nights ago. There was a fair amount of wind and a few clouds about so I didn't get my telescope out, but I couldn't resist the dark skies. I more did this shoot for the timelapse video which I plan to put online soonish, which is why the ISO is so high. I wanted to capture as much of the Milky Way as possible. But of course, I then couldn't resist putting it all together into a single image. The high ISO brought out some weird star colours so I thought I would make the most of them and increase the saturation and vibrance of the colours in the image. Pretty happy with how it looks. I would love to know what you think of the effect.
Very similar composition to my last star trail, sorry. I do have a few interesting locations in mind, but couldn't be bothered traveling to them this night.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactThe change in colors with the star trails is what makes this photo unique. However, I only gave you 31/2 stars for originality because I have seen you do star trail shot in the past, and all of them are going to be somewhat similiar.
Your technique is great as always.
That's a whole bunch of stars!
I like the balance of the trees. There are just enough to flush out the photo. But not enough to draw the focus away from the sky.
My onlt real critique is that I think you may have overdone it with the trails. There just seems to be a little to much going on in this photo. It takes away a little bit of the impact for me.
Anyway, thanks for sharing another great work.
