wibsey stars
i was hoping to take some star trail shots on thursday when i was at my tree however the sky wasn't clear enough. i didn't think about it the next night until i looked out the window before i went to bed and saw the stars looking back. i was a bit too knackered to go anywhere but i also wanted to experiment with taking star shots as i had never tried before. so i went out in my back garden set the camera pointing back at my house (which is west) and set it automatically taking 10 x 15 second shots. i knew i needed to get quite a few for the best effect so i put ok computer on my ipod and every 5 minutes pressed the button.
as the tourist came to an end i brought it back inside and layered the 100 images I had captured into photoshop, setting the blending mode to lighten. i had set the iso to 200 so there was a fair bit of noise so i put it through noise ninja which I had never used before. the finished result was not as great as i had hoped but it was all an experiment and after all that effort there was no way that i wasn't going to post it!
