Sand dune Star Trails

Went up to Lancelin yesterday to test out my new 5D Mark II . Got up there fairly early in the afternoon as we though we would have to try and find a location to set up . When we arrived it was blowing a gale and sand got every where , must have brough back half the dunes with me . Still stuck it out though and took a fair few shots . Later on the at night we though we would try some star trails as the wind had died off . Got a few shots would have liked to stay longer but we were worried about finding our way out the sand dunes at night in the 4wd and not getting bogged .
Have to say i love the 5D MKII .
