Hi my friend,
This shot is soooo good. I remember when I shoot this kinda shot. I took quite a patient. You dida very good job =)
What f stop did you use? f16?

Thanks everyone, glad you liked it, I really liked the idea of the track leading up the scene as well :)
@SecretVodka, I actually used f/5.6 for this shot, f16 wouldn't have given me enough light i don't think to properly illuminate the scene.

"Relavitely short." Ha. What do you call "relatively long" then? ;)
Great shot, though the stars are very much more interesting to me that the road.

Stunning, I love the track too, but I've never seen anything like that sky before. Also wondering what time of the evening it was, it's nice there's enough light to see the landscape.

A trademark Belial night shot!
Excellent work Carl, the exposure looks perfect. i know you've taken shots previously with a much longer shutter speed, but even an hour sounds a long time (plus nr?) your patience has been rewarded again.
Nice one.

Crikey, what a response! Thank you all very much, i'm glad you all like the shot.
@sadferret, it was taken approx 23:00ish, but again, the moon was pretty full so it gets very light out there on a clear night. For those who never venture out when the moon is full you should give it a go, you really dont appreciate how much light you can get off the moon until you're out in it.
@Simon, thanks mate. I didn't use noise reduction on this one actually, it seemed light enough for it not to create huge amounts of noise unless you view it in it's original 3800xsomething resolution..

Cool shot. It's interesting comparing what you and I captured on the same night but from different parts of the country. Your trails are really bright and smooth - I need to upgrade my camera. It's peaceful to be out on nights like this.

@MGildersleeve + roger_taylor, was taken at ISO 400 and as roger said F/5.6. There's only 1 small village between the location and the sea, so not much man made light to capture and as it's such a clear night, not any cloud around which always highlights the artificial lights a lot more.

Thank you all so much for your comments, awards and greetings, guess i've got a day of scanning through everybody's photostream ahead of me today to repay the kindness.
@are you my rik. I use a BG3 battery grip with my 400D so it holds 2 batteries, and i'm using 1000mAh instead of the 750mAh batteries which it comes with :) SO that helps :)
@nikkito, it's quite easy really, you just need a tripod, a camera with a shutter release cable and some patience (or somewhere to hide for an hour), Just leave the camera shutter open as long as possible, point it at some sky and you'll get some star trails :)

 _Belial i´ve tried once
but its really difficult to get a cool focus when using a manual mode (of course autofocus is almost imposible when it´s so dark). oh and it happened to me that the pic was overexposed...
well, maybe different places, different illumination and different photographer. oh yeah
that´s the reason :P

@ nikkito, yep focusing at night is an adventure in itself, all the advice i can offer is get a damn strong torch and take it with you! Then try to highlight something you want to act as a focal point and try auto focus on that point or manually focus, it's a skill that improves with time :)

i wish i had the equipment to do startrail photography. you work in this area is brilliant, but the composition of this one really caught my eye. i think it has to do with the solid, earthiness of the trail versus the everchanging stars. great capture

Thank you all very much, this is one of my favourite star trail shots it has to be said, i just love the foreground detail and the path leading us up the frame.
@Jon Hawkins, you should give it a go, it's really not that hard to do, you just need a camera that has a "bulb mode" or anything to let you keep the shutter open for long enoguh. Then get yourself some coffee, an mp3 player or radio and sit tight for a few hours :)
