We arrived at Sarakiniko at Milos on a windy summer afternoon. The sky was blunt as always but we didn't care much; actually we were glad. We had one sole purpose that night and that was star trails. It was our first attempt and after reading various articles and drooling over the results it was time to create something of our own. Beautiful place Sarakiniko is. Huge limestone boulders carved at natures will over the years, it has been a photographers paradise for years and for the following four hours it was destined to be ours.
I know it is a simple composition but it is my first attempt at this and I didn't want to complicate things a lot. The base shot was taken after the sun had set and then after waiting for about 2 hours to get completely dark we took 30 consecutive shots of four minutes each to get the star trails. Postwork included stacking all the images and blending each layer in lighten mode.
Hope you like it. Can you spot the shooting star??

it's not a manipulation, it's a photograph.

I consider combining two different photographs into one to be photomanipulation.
What do yo consider it to be?

i consider it a double exposed photograph. in my opinion its very very far from a photomanipulation

Actually that's a good point. I have the multiple exposure function also in my camera and if I use that, I'd call the result still a photograph. For some reason I tend to think that if I do that same thing in Photoshop for example, it's much more in a way of manipulation. Don't know why.
You win. This is a double exposure not a manipulation.
Thanks for setting my mind straight.

I think the person to ask is Maria! she is the one that taught it to me. I just followed her example. I can't say something more that I already wrote on my description

Tks so much, I'll send her a note

aww, come on and you believe him?
It's exactly the other way round, he's the one he taught me everything I know. We both followed the tutorial from here [link] but he was the one with the most decent results!
