Another from the 4th January 2012.

1 hr of star trails pre-dawn (3:30am - 4:30am).

Yeah....Wow!

Pretty damn cool how the dawn is captured as well. Really spectacular!

Did you change the camera's setting as it became more light or, stop shooting when the light was getting close to the correct exposure?

Thanks

Hi Dean

Thanks for the comment. I didn't change the exposures - I just stopped shooting when it got too light.

But I also just chose the frames to stack and didn't use the last frame or two when it was too light.

Beautiful Mike

I love the dawn light in this one.

Nice shots, but how did you get the wife to let out till that hour? That's the real skill right there...

She's still sleeping at that time - that's the best time

Trying to get out for sunset shots is far more difficult when there's the kids and household routine to help with!

Great shot as usual Mike. The colours are very nice and I too like the dawn aspect of it.
