ryme-intrinseca (real name: Becky) took this time exposure at Swanage in Dorset. The exposure was just over eighteen and a half minutes, using a Nikon D80 DSLR. Becky has done very well to get such good star trails, especially as she' not very experienced at this type of photography: "My first serious attempt at shooting star trails. I'm fairly happy with it, but I think the building and artificial light are distracting. Next time, I may try shooting in portrait format so that the pole star is included." Becky has critiqued her own picture very well. I particularly like the colours in the sky, and the composition with the sphere in the foreground at the top of the steps. Having tried my own hand at star trails, I can only say that Becky has managed a much better result!
