Wow riktigt snyggt!! Du lyckades verkligen fΓ₯ till effekten av stjΓ€rnornas rΓΆrelse bra!

I don't think the foreground is too dark. This is an excellent exposure considering it was on for 2 hrs. It could have been way over exposed. Did you just guess an exposure or did you take a reading off of the barn?

Actually the image is made of 240 images, taken at 30 seconds, ISO 800 and f/3,5
Then I put all of them in a single photoshop file as layers and set the blending modes to screen. With this technique you can easily check if the exposure is correct since you only have to wait 30 seconds and then check it on the screen of your camera. A slightly underexposed foreground is often giving you some better results in the end even tho in this case it got too underexposed (:

Do the stars really swirl like that under long exposure?

If you aim the camera at the north star/Polaris which is almost in line with our earths axis they do (:

So that's how it's done? And how long was this picture taken in hours before sunlight?

Yeah (:
Well like 7-8 hours before the sun rises (:

Very nice shot! I really like the composition. The red house and the trees are well exposed even if, as you mention, the shadow on the left hand side is maybe a little bit too present. No big deal, the star trail is so beautiful I did not noticed that shadow until I read your caption.
Which lens did you use? Is it the Samyang fish-eye? I am considering buying a 8 or 10mm, your feedback could help...

Thanks! Yeah it's the Samyang 8mm. It's a pretty fun lens to play with, it has some CA(like almost all fisheye lenses) and it's not that sharp but since it's so cheap I must say that it's awesome!

Thanks for the fast answer, this conforts me in my choice. Congratulations again for this great picture!

Wow... that's cool. I would assume that radial effect was created by yourself, because there's no way the sky would do that itself

Thanks! Well it's a 2 hour exposure of the sky and those are stars, as you know the earth spins...

I think it is awesome! Looks like it would be fun to try

p.s. how did you manage to create the effect?!
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a 2 hour long exposure in total

This hurts my eyes... but it's possibly one of the most interesting effects i've ever seen!

One day I'll take my camera out and do something similar myself. Until that day I will continue to be amazed at shots such as yours; fantastic!
