Star trails

star trails photo is focused on the North Pole, it likely features Polaris (the North Star) at the center, with other stars forming concentric circular trails around it. This effect is caused by the Earth’s rotation over a long exposure period.

Analysis & Feedback:

1. Composition – A strong foreground element (like a tree, mountain, or building) can enhance the image by adding depth and scale.


2. Exposure & Stacking – Did you use a single long exposure (bulb mode) or stack multiple shots? Stacking helps reduce noise and produces cleaner trails.


3. Color & Contrast – Different stars create trails in varying colors (blue, white, red, etc.). Did you enhance the colors in post-processing?


4. ISO & Aperture – A high ISO (800–3200) and a wide aperture (f/2.8 – f/4) help capture bright, clear trails.
