I had an adventurous time last evening...
I have decided that star trails are boring. Yet, they hold a fascination. So I have decided to experiment with a combination of interesting subjects and incorporate star trail backgrounds. I haven't run the startrail software yet (StarStaX) but this is a taster, which will have startrails added later when I have finished the PP.
I hadn't realised but I caught the aurora without realising it was there. When I moved to my second location I got a text alert of high solar energy but I wasn't going back!
Nikon D300s, Nikkor 18-105 VR, @ 18mm, 30 Sec @ f4.5, ISO1600. A couple of stops over exposed, pulled some back in PP.
Coniston Water with the Old Man of Coniston in the background.
My second location was Lowick Church, again still a bit over exposed @ f5.6, you can just see the effects of the aurora behind the church.
