Ace, i like the trails from the planes as well, all good. Where is Jupiter & Venus ??

 

[Mikehamilton]

cheers, if you look in flickr i have put notes where they are

 

[Brian Sayle]

O yeah excellent, look full size and they are so much bigger than everything else out there

 

[lolage]

Yeah, nice photo!

Shame you couldn't make the trails a little longer though!

Thanks

I had planned on staying on there for longer, however the tide was rapidly aproaching where my camera was

I think this is 45mins worth of shots stacked together.

If I were you, I'd join up the gaps in the plane trails in Photoshop. It's cheating, I know, but I reckon it'd really improve it!

Love it Mike, I think that you've done a brilliant job on this and it looks like a fantastic location with a lot of potential

[Mikehamilton]

Thanks Matt, yes the location has loads of potential, about 200m further on than this is a martello tower and a collapsed one, however there is a military firing range next to the beach, so i couldnt go any further along the beach than this when i took this as they were firing

Excellent stuff there. Will really have to try this out soon! Really like the lighting on the boats, was it natural or painted? Also the fact you have captured the planet trails really adds to the trails when you know that they are there, stand out quite abit.

 

[Mikehamilton]

Thanks, its partial street lighting and a quick sweep with my iphone light, and on the pebbles at the front. there is a slight WB adjustment to get rid of the orange glow, hense why the stones look quite blue

Only crit would be the cast on the stones, carry a bit of the orange cellophane wrapper from inside a Jaffa Cake packet to get some orange back in your LED lamp. Otherwise, looks good to me- interesting location, sharp trails, nice sky colour.

If you're going to do anything to the plane trails, remove them. Easily done within the affected frames and then restack.

Really nice work! I especially life the plane trails among the star trails!
Nice contrast between artificial light trails and natural light trails!
