failed star trail

Why it’s a fail trail

March 10, 2010

On Sunday, I posted a photo I titled “fail trail.” I called it that because I only captured half the light I intended due to a setting on my camera; one that had the camera capturing 30 seconds of blackness for every 30 seconds of stars. In the detail image you see here, the photo shows what I’m talking about. At full resolution, the stars are spaced out, and the 30 seconds leaves a gap where the earth rotated while the camera wasn’t capturing the image.

    I didn’t end up with any photo that accurately portrayed how beautiful it was the morning of 2/27. This was as good as it got, and it just pales in comparison to reality.

    Happy belated birthday, Mom…
