Lakeside star trails

[StephenM]

Hi all,

I've been thinking of trying this location for star trails for a few months now, and finally gave it a go last night. Its a small lake in a park at Fig Tree Pocket in Brisbane, with a viewing platform that looks south. Lots of light pollution as it's in the middle of suburbia, but still a nice vantage point I think.

This was about 1 hr worth of 13 sec exposures with the Tokina 11-16 at 11mm, f/2.8 and 800 iso.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen

Good work Stephen. The water composition really adds to it.

Gotta get me a water location too! Oh wait I found one!

Thanks very much guys! It would have been better If I'd kept shooting for 2 or 3 hrs, but I was rinning out of space on the card...

Cheers,
Stephen
