Description
My second attempt at star trail photography. This time with my new cable remote that supports bulb mode. It gets a bit boring having to wait in the dark for 20+ minutes, but hey, what DON'T you do for great pictures? 
This one is what I would call a failure shot again. I mean, true, I got those uninterrupted star trails now, but I placed my camera strategically unwise. See the light shining through the tree? that's a car passing in the valley about a kilometer away. shouldn't have pointed my camera towards the road... it got me that nice "star", but it was an unnecessary light source.
Second mistake: The aperture. Another thing that made the pic darker than it could have been.
Ah well. Still nice enough, considering it was my first long exposure pic with that cable remote and my third star trail pic all in all.
(And ignore the camera data that says I shot this pic at 11pm... it was midnight. I just always forget to change the time to DST
)

Mir gefällt besonders die Farbe des Himmels. Und dass das ein Auto ist, hätte ich nie gedacht. Dachte eher an ein Außenlicht. Wobei das bei 10 Minuten Belichtung wohl eher die Helligkeit einer Supernova hätte.
