Field of Dreams: Star trail photography
The night sky fascinates me. The fact that there are billions of stars in our galaxy, and billions of galaxies… it makes me feel humble looking up at the sky and realizing how small we are. I took a remarkable similar photo to this recently, during a full moon. I wanted, however, to really capture the stars. I went back to get the photo I was looking for :
A sky filled with stars on a crisp spring evening, such an amazing view. My experiments weren’t over though. I wanted to try my hand at star trails. Stars in the night sky move over time, and this can be recorded with very long exposures. They all swirl around the north star; the north star was always used for navigation because it remained fixed in the sky. A nearby field provided me with the perfect landscape for a 37 minute exposure:
It was an amazing evening for photography. Spending time under the stars, quietly contemplating is something everyone should do once in a while. It is always wonderful to spend time with nature and capture its beauty.
Hello everyone!!!
Donny, these are some of the most amazing pictures you have taken by now(to me). I love the sky and the stars. It is beautiful and really magical. I am not sure if I can pic a favorite because each one of them has different attributes and uniqueness and this is what makes them outstanding. I admire your talent and passion for all you do and also your dedication. Taking these beautiful scenery pictures only shows part of what you are capable of. I am forever your fan sweetheart and am so very proud of you!!!
I love you so very much <3

Love Meme & Pepe.
been waiting to see these since you posted your first night sky shot with the fisheye!
beautiful photos and great use of the silhouetted tree as part of the composition. the tree looks like its reaching out to grab the stars, which is exactly what I want to do when I’m out ina field at night
