A collection of star trail photographs taken with Canon 7D and 40D bodies with lenses that include the Canon 10-22mm, the Canon 17-40mm and the Samyang 8mm fisheye lens.
Your night photography is impressive. I have worked on star trails myself and i have been having a blast. I was wondering how you took the images of the night sky that do not show trails. They are light and have great balance without long exposures. Do you have any tips or tricks?
I benefit from seeing the metadata of some of the images if you dont mind providing it. Its gives me a baseline to start some of my images.
Your images are beautiful and i hope to emulate some of them if i can.
the images without star trails are done in one of two ways; using a lot of shorter exposures and then stacking them in DeepSkyStacker or using a motorised mount that tracks the stars allowing exposures of 5-10 minutes without trails.

Hi Joel,

what program are you using for your star trail photos such as ‘Penmon Lighthouse on Anglesey (#2/42)’ ? Thanks! great gallery… keep up the great work
The programe is called Startrails.exe http://www.startrails.de/html/software.html
