I had a nice, clear night to work with. Composition is a little off but it's only my 2nd time trying this.
Shot with a 5d2 + 17-40 F4L

ToddLambert I don't like titles  More info | May 25, 2012 14:13 | #2 Nice work. I like the concept but as you said, the composition would be a little better if you had Polaris in the frame. It's a shame it's cut off at the top.

I actually think it would be pretty boring with just the hillside and the star trails. I think the tent is what helps make it interesting. I either need to pick up a fisheye (on my to-do list) or I should've framed it from further away, IMO.

Don't get me wrong i like the shot really well . Just there is alot of mountain in the scene and not enough star trails for my taste . But if you had shot higher up you could have the full circle or near full . Take a look at a few of these and you'll see what i'm talking about :
