star trails



Location: Quaker Meadow Christian Camp, 7200' in the Sequoia Ntl Monument in California.
A total of 431 shots, 20 seconds long, 21 seconds appart, were used to make this image. Photos were stacked in After Effects, but Photoshop was key to updating some photos due to people walking through and cars coming by. A single photo was also shot in the evening so that the horizon with the trees could be outlined. I also shot a daytime image the following morning while the camera was locked on the tripod to do a roll-over of a daytime/night time image (http://tinyurl.com/6gjzud). There are a couple of movies on there also that shows how the image was created.
