Description
when it becomes night, we can see the stars.I could just watch them for hours, but what i see are stars - only with tools like a camera we can capture more than the eye can see....
--
Location: Malbun (Liechtenstein)
no photomanip
Camera: Praktica B200 (full manual and only three years younger than me
)Lens: Prakticar 28mm/2.8
Exposure time: 1hour
Aperture: 5.6
ISO Speed: 100
Film: Fuji Sensia
scan from slide
The lighter area in the lower half comes from the city "Vaduz" wich is on the other side of the mountain. I should have closed the aperture more :/
Next time i will i promise
damn, i want the long exposure section back

Ah! Wonderful! I love you for taking this pic.
I've been trying to do this well forever and I always manage to mess it up somehow. I'll try again someday

I love how you centered on the north star. I think the light of the city adds to the picture. Beautiful job! Awesome!

Very, very creative. I've never seen a shot like this, that actually shows the movement of the stars in a single shot. You were lucky that night, it seems, with no wind whatsoever to move the trees for a straight hour. I really like the focus on the one star, how everything revolves around it as if the sky were spinning - which, of course, it was, in a manner, and you've caught that extremely well.
You should be really proud of this shot.

i love this sort of pics! i've never seen it done by "normal" people though, only astronomers and things. this one came out very well, and the gradient in the sky looks pretty cool, i think... makes the silhouettes of the trees stand out well, which is good because without them, just cricles of stars would look boring. it's the contrast of everyday things (the trees) against the vastness of space and things we can't even comprehend that appeals to me about this shot. great work! it would also be nice to try this in the desert near here - no cities!

Sehr beeindruckendes Bild!
Die Farben und die Belichtung ist einzigartig.
Ich wΓΌrde niemals auf die Idee kommen ein Bild eine Std. zu belichten
Naja, mir gefΓ€llts aufjedenfall

Echt cool, mit gefallen die Sterne echt gut und die BΓ€ume sind auch cool.
btw. welcher kamera haste das denn gemacht?

Cool photo 
Interesting that you've got a Praktica camera, my grandparents got me to fix there's today, the f/stop eyeris was clogged up with grease for some reason...It'd been broken for about 30 years
I like the way you've captured some trees in the photo, adding stuff like this really makes startrails that much more interesting

Yes you are!!! I love your experiments. Nice composition for this one, but maybe more than an hour would be more interesting.
I think you could go ahead and do this one again for better quality

Beautiful result and great idea...
Yeah stupid comment

It's remarkable that you were able to direct the shot at the north star and still apply the rule of thirds. It must have been difficult gauging the frame of the shot with such a huge night sky. Or am I over complicating a simple thing? Was this a much larger picture with very nicely done cropping? Either way it's absolutly wonderful. As always you seem to give me more and more ideas when taking a picture, only thing is I don't think I'd have the patience to hold down the B setting for an hour. What ever +fav!

very nice shot .. love the darkblue tone on the sky
one hour exposure .. thats boring

Awesome work. Makes me want to work with a regular camera instead of digital.

wow. die belichtungszeit auf eine stunde zu stellen ist eine gute idee gewesen. so wird die aufnahme zu einem auΓergewΓΆhnlichen bild! mir gefallen nicht nur die sterne, sondern auch die silouetten des berges und der bΓ€ume.

i agree with u! we need long exp. section!!
this is one of the experiment i never try!! i need too!
very nice work, i love how sky s not dark..

Beautiful! I've always wanted to do this, but unfortunately it's too bright at night to see them this clearly.

Boah, Olly, das nenn ich eine genial schΓΆne Arbeit. Den Weg der Sterne so zu sehen ist etwas besonderes. Perfekt!!!!
π: 0 β©: 0
Also so toll find ich die _Idee_ jetz net, anscheinend im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen, aber als (ex)Hobby-Astronom ist mir das einfach nicht neu
Das Ergebnis allerdings is super, und ich find die Blende schon richtig so, ich glaub sonst wΓ€r ein bisl zu wenig Kontrast da.
SchΓΆne Farben ΓΌbrigens

1 hour,
Nice result, i've seen one similiar in photo.net, both are great.

OMG, exposure for 1 hour!
Boy, the result is fantastic!
Never knew such thing was even possible to capture!

Wieder mal sehr gelungen! Ich mag wie die BlautΓΆne ineinander verlaufen. SchΓΆnes Bild.

I took several pictures just like this, but none of them turned out cause my film camera is broken :-/
that one is AWSOME though!

i love it! Very good star-trail capture. Need a lot of patience for this, well done

thats what the sky looks like after an hour's worth of exposure time? like you can capture the earth's rotation? that is just completely wicked. you have some of the best ideas, and this is no exception. incredible photo if it is indeed not a manip and an hour exposure like you said. i suppose a camera like this has such a great amount of setting that even a 15 minute exposure might come out pitch black? i dont get how an hour wouldnt come completely washed out even with only the slightest spec of light in the field of view.

yes, like you said. The star wich is in the middle of the trails is the polestar wich is nearly exact in the rotation axis of the earth...
i used this old camera because it uses no batteries for the mirror lockup and the shutter - so the one hour exposure was possible without thinking of hotpixels or empty batteries...
It was a really dark night with no moon and in the alps there was no disturbing light. The exact time was from 23:00 to 24:00.
The trigger was pushed with a wire release so i hadn't to sit next to the cam the whole time
One thing to remember is the "Schwarzschild Effect", i can't explain it in english, but a simple search in the net would help....

This is great.. I love how it starts off almost black at the top and slowly fades into the blue at the bottom.
The more I look at it, the dizzier I get. Fabulous
