Backyard light trail

[JayJay]

I'm still experimenting with this technique hence the rather mundane location.

This is only 90 frames long - meant to go longer but some clouds suddenly appeared and brought a premature end to shooting. Light pollution is pretty obtrusive too, but it's the first of my light trail attempts that I'd consider came out 'ok'.

I'd say it's come out very good as you've said the location is a bit on the pants side but the important things are there, you've got nice trails and although the foreground interest is not interesting it is in focus which to me is one of the most important aspects of stat trails

The max size permissible on TP is 1024px on the longest edge

Thanks for the comments.
Now I'm confident that it's worth travelling out to a better location, next time the weather is right, the moon is out of the way, and I have the opportunity.

As for the size, I deliberately shrunk it down a bit hoping that it wouldn't need clicking to enlarge - obviously that didn't work.
I made it 960 px - I know 1024 is the maximum size for the forum, but what is the optimum?

800 is the default size. Stick to that if you don't want resizing.

Good luck finding a sweet location.
