Star Trails..

[ayesane]

this is what i was thinking but thought there must be an obvious reason not for doing it so kept schtum.

The logic behind multiple long exposures: The longer you have the shutter open the more light you will get from your foreground (what ever you put in your composition) so taking lots of long exposures and merging them will give you a fixed exposure for as long as you like. As opposed to a huge exposure with potentially well over exposed detail.

I think anyways..

Yep, that would make sense. But sometimes you would want light on the foreground

I was pissing about on the beach with Clyde with torches, while he was sitting around doing nowt for nearly two hours.

I think it's my most favourite photograph ever.

All police leave in the NE will be cancelled if you lot go out on a full moon

It's the moon on a 2 hour exposure utterly class init. Looks like an asteroid has hit earth, or a giant laser beam has been fired

But how is the rest of the sky so clear. Surely it would capture star trails?

What a shot mind...!

I would of come tonight but I think more research into star trails is required first

Im sure ive read stacking 5/10 min shots is the best way to do it, but i suppose its trial and error
