Star Trails: 21 Terrestrial Views of Space by Amateur Photographers
Categories: Cool Photos, Featured
Written By: lightstalking
Timed exposures of the sky at night produce what are known as ‘star trails.’ The movement of the earth makes the exposure of the stars like that of a moving object that produces lines of light. If combined with a well composed image, the results can be quite striking. This collection of star trail photography shows some great examples of this photographic niche which we really enjoyed. Check out the tutorials at the end of the post if you want to know more about star trail photography.

As I’m a big fan of long exposure time photography, specially star trails, the only word I can say after seeing this is: WOW!!!!….
Specially the one by Aitor Escuariaza. I would love to know the technics behind this picture!!.
Great post, great inspiration for me.

Great set! It’s really cool to see some of my fellow night-sky hunters on flickr here. The quality of stuff folks are putting out just keeps getting better and better with new technology.

Very cool! Funnily enough just yesterday I was looking at another really cool amateur shot of the Milky Way: http://www.flickr.com/photos/denwo/4110712136/
