Description
The stars of Lake Tekapo are a wonder to behold!This image was created from 40 of the timelapse frames I took. From here - I think any more and the trails would be far too intrusive (as it is I think there are already too many star trails).
I've been asked by many (sometimes accused) if these shots from Tekapo are composite images. The answer is no - the lighting on the church is from the town of Tekapo on the right and the stars really are incredible there! If there are any lingering doubters, pay the area a visit
The 'reel' of every single shot we took is compiled here in 12 minutes!

very nice - and the subject matter is sweeeet - try doing trail durign the half moo - might give enough light to eliminate about half the stars - well at least the no-so bright ones...worth a try

Great shot! If it is made out of 40 frames, then how is it not a composite? Or is what I think composite means incorrect?
