I enjoy shooting startrail pictures and seeing others pictures. So I thought I would start a thematic thread. Shooting startrails takes a lot of time to shoot and put together but the results can be fun.
Here's the article about shooting startrails in case anyone missed it: An Introduction to Star Trail Photography - Introduction - PentaxForums.com

I'll start with a couple pictures.

This was taken last summer. You can tell by the fireflies. It was about an hours worth of pictures stacked with Startrails

I took this one a couple nights ago. Venus and Jupiter are the bright streaks on the bottom right. It was just over an hours worth of pictures also stacked with the Startrails program.

I like the self portrait. The out of focus grass gives it a macro effect that makes you look miniature.

Nice, it looks like you caught Venus and Jupiter on the lower right. I wish I had a wider lens to use for startrails.
