[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Just come back from spending a few hours up in the mountains trying to capture images of the meteor shower, unfortunatly the meteors showed up everywhere apart from where my camera was pointing.
But I did manage to capture this image, my very first star trail picture. A long exposure (about 17 minutes) with the camera pointed towards the pole star (off to the left) produces these trails from the stars as the earth rotates.

Kalispera Nic,
Very nice photo, I love those star trails but I didn't know that they moved so fast in 17 minutes. The colours are amazing.
TFS,
Aida
