Hi!
Whilst in Kos, I noticed there were far more stars visible (much less light pollution), so I thought I'd attempt some star trail shots!
This is the best of the bunch, but I've had to work on it quite a bit to get the sky darker. It was a little misty, and I think the 20 minute exposure picked up light pollution some what.
Any hints or tips (technical or composition) on how I can improve, or what setting I should have used would be much appreciated!
550D, 15-85 IS USM @15mm, on gorilla pod, F3.5, ISO200, focus at infinity, IS off.
I just guessed 20 minutes would give me some start trails - no scientific approach used!
