Yep > How did you do that? The first step was to drive 7 hours out of the city (That's the hard part :-) The rest is easy, use a compass to find south, find a relatively interesting object to put in the foreground, check where the lightening was & select a focal length & composition to suit. I start at ISO 6400 & shoot a 15 second exposure. Review the image & increase the exposure time as needed. If I want to shoot star trails then I dial the ISO down to 200 and work backwards from the ISO 6400 exposure time. > Really beautiful. Thanks mate.
