Startrails
I once read a book about stars and saw there an article about photographing startrails. Back to then I didn't have a camera, but i really wanted to try it out. Then some years later I got my first camera, and I still had the "startrail idea" in my mind but then i didn't have a tripod. haha. My boyfriend gave me a tripod as my birthday present. Ok, then i had a camera and a tripod, but there were no stars to be seen in the town. So i had to go to my boyfriend's place to take the picture, because he lives out of the town. And THEN, when i was at his place, the sky was always cloudy! :D But guess what, last saturday I had it all, that takes to photograph startrails. So I got my first startrails picture. :D It's not very good but not bad tough as it is my first one. :D

I've always wanted to shoot trailing stars but never have. It's somewhat difficult isnt it? The camera's settings need to be set properly of course.. like long exposure.. and for a couple hours I think? Great photo!
Yep, the hardest part is the focusing, because you can't see anything. :D Anyways you can read an article about shooting at nights here: http://www.picturecorrect.com/photographytips/professional_night_landscape_photography_lessons.htm
The exposure doesn't have to be that long, for example mine was only about 40 minutes. I think 1 hour of exposure is more than enough. :) Thank you!
Thanks for the article ;)
