For those who dont know what these lines are they are stars. / I set the camera on the B setting and leave the shutter open for upto 10 hrs. / As the earth rotates it gives you these lines.I do not recommend the use of digital cameras for taking startrails

This is a photoblend of 91 X 30 second exposures using the brilliant Startrails photoblend action that you can download from here / This is the 45 minute storm in one shot – in other words it’s the opposite end of the spectrum from the timelapse version I recently posted here / Trippy huh! / The large white streak in the sky is the moontrail, the little ones are startrails. The long lines sweeping across the sky are planes taking off and landing and the ones on the water are fishing trawlers. / A couple of curious things in this image. The first is the clear section of cloud above the main lightning strikes versus the blurred cloud around them. I think this is the result of these clouds being flashlit by each of the 20 odd lightning strikes whereas the other clouds were lit evenly by the moon in each image and hence blurred in the blend (hope that makes sense). / The other weird thing is that strange green line just above the middle planetrail near the centre of the image. It isn’t parallel to the startrails so isn’t one of them and satellites move so fast that one of those would have shown up as a long streak like the planetrails – any ideas? Taken off the cliffs at Bundeena, Royal National Park, Sydney Australia. / Canon EOS 1Ds MkIII / EF 16-35mm f/2.8 LII USM / Tv: 30sec / Av: f/3.5 / ISO: 200 / FL: 17mm

recommended – click image for a better view Another photograph that has been years in the waiting for everything to fall into alignment – this time the elements required were: / - night with a northerly wind to keep out any moist or damp air and blow back any salty spray/mist. fogging up the lens. / - no moon. / - no clouds. / - a high tide. / - it be warm/hot enough for me not to freeze. / - no work the following day. A combination that is not easy to get on Victoria’s South Gippsland coastline…. In the photograph you will see an almost diagonal line across the star trails formed by a spectacular meteorite as it blazed across the night sky. / / / EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2008 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / larger file coming when time permits

Seastorm off Bundeena Cliffs in Royal National Park just south of Sydney Australia. Taken using the brilliant Startrails Photoshop Action to blend 15 X 30sec identical exposures. You can download the Action from here: / http://www.schursastrophotography.com/software/photoshop/startrails.html If you view in Large mode you can see startrails between the clouds. Also the short horizontal light along the horizon is a fishing trawler. Funnily enough there was an average of only one lightning bolt per exposure. / I’ve now photographed 5 storms off these cliffs and the really curious thing I’ve noticed is that the lightning always seems to concentrate in the same places – here and about another 45 degrees to the right along the horizon. I know now that if I set my camera up here or at the other angle I’m always going to get the best lightning shots – weird or what? I would have thought the lightning strikes would be much more random than that.

Lake Mungo and the earth spin under a cold cloudless winters night sky. This photograph was taken the night after a vigorous cold front crossed the region dumping over an inch in rain and storms – closing all roads to and from and the national park itself. more of my outback Australian photography can be seen at / the Aussie outback

Taken looking south to Wollongong from Providential Point, Royal National Park, just south of Sydney Australia. / This is my first attempt at a multi-exposure blend. This image is a combinations of 57 X 30sec exposures using the fantastic Startrails Photoshop Action that you can download free from this excellent site: / www.schursastrophotography.com/software/photoshop/startra… I was put on to this action by Dave Burrow whose amazing startrails image can be seen here: / http://www.redbubble.com/people/davidburrows/art/321722-3-startrails The brilliant thing about this PS action is that the longest exposure you need to take is 30sec and so it virtually eliminates the noise problem of conventional long exposure startrails. You can imagine how much noise this shot would have as a 30min exposure. / The straight lines are some of 9 planes that flew through these exposures over the half-hour I was taking them – amazingly consistent flight paths. It got so busy I had to delete some of the planetrails, hence the little gaps in the startrails.

I thought it might be interesting to go back to Garie Lookout and do a startrails version of Wonder Lies Sleeping ‘Neath a Mantle of Light. If you missed the original it’s here: The line running through the bottom left is a plane – couldn’t get rid of it without making a big hole in my startrails. This image is a composite of 51 X 30 second exposures using the brilliant schursastrophotography photoshop action here: http://www.schursastrophotography.com/software/photoshop/startrails.html Also I’ve written a little story to go with it if you haven’t already read it: http://www.redbubble.com/people/geoffcoleman/writing/769745-wonder-lies-sleeping-neath-a-blanket-of-light

Camping on the Qld central coast one night I took the opportunity to do a star trail photograph on my Fuji 6×17 camera. Using a spotlight I delicately painted in the dune and Pandanus during this 5.5hr exposure.

This image is a ‘double,long exposure’.I shot it on a mamiya 645 medium format camera.At dusk I took the afternoon exposure with the red earth and the blue sky then 3 hours later took another exposure on the same frame of film for 12 hours.This is the result.

Getting to know the stars is an important part of landscape photography. Using a compass and G.P.S I was able to pinpoint the South Celestial Star. Because of the rotation of the earth, using a six hour exposure gives the feeling of the stars trailing around this point. I used a 5 million candle power flashlight to illuminate the sand dune. Because of the massive size of the dune I had to climb an adjacent dune and paint the light on from there. Camera – Fuji Gx617 / Film – Fuji Velvia

Looking south from Caves Beach Jervis Bay. One of these “I don’t believe this” moments. One of the problems with Royal NP (where I shoot most of my photos) is that it’s under the flight path for Sydney airport which is a problem at night because I end up getting lots of distracting light trails from the planes (there is often no more than 90 seconds between one plane flying out of a frame and another flying in). Given it takes 10 minutes to start getting decent star trails you end up with 10 plane trails in the shot. / So me and my partner headed south to the almost equally gorgeous national park at Jervis Bay 2.5 hours south of Sydney. Whoopee I thought – no planes. And then, just as I pressed the shutter this tiny light plane flew into frame. My first reaction was #$Q #%$## what do you have to do to get away from aircraft and I nearly closed the shutter. But then I thought just leave it and take another shot after this one. So I left it and it turned out to be my favourite shot of the start trails I took that night. The white glow is the Milky Way and the orange glow is from a village on the other side of the bay. / Tv: 619secs / Av: f/3.5 / ISO: 200 / FL: 17MM / Canon 30D

One hundred and forty-two 30 second exposures combined into the one photo.

This shot is a composite of 45 one minute images taken at Sheeps Tor on Dartmoor. The light on Sheeps Tor itself is from the full moon just out of shot to the right.

shot on slide film 100 asa.the perspective doesnt show.its taken from across the wide orange river and the cliff on the left is app.50 meters high and filled in with a spotlight.cant remember for how long. / the startrail shutter time is app.3 hours on a 2.4 to 4 stop.the advantage of the locatio is pure darkness.no interference.just be aware of the cycle of the moon.

Well, I have finally tried the Startrails action for Digital Cameras, found here . / It involves taking 100 or so 30sec exposures and layering them in PS. Anyway, if you ever wanted to have a go at this I suggest you follow the instructions because it is incredibly easy. My image is not the best as my lens will only open to f/4. If you have a lens that will allow exposures at f/2.8 or less, you will get much better results. / I had to play around with levels and contrast because this was way to dark.
