Awesome, so glad there is a strails exposure. I REALLY wanted to enter one myself, but wasn't gifted one clear evening during the challenge dates. Technicallly good exposure, and definitly long.... say 10mins? However I would have appreciated some forground reference. Also looks to be massively fisheyed.... maybe its just me.
Interesting take on this challenge but the photo itself does very little for me. The white smokelike running thru the photo 1/3 from the right is very distracting and the bottom corners add nothing but distraction to the photo. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
This is a cool effect and an amazing natural phenomenon. However, it is not that interesting to me from a photographic point of view. I honestly have no idea what else could be done to improve upon this, short of having another point of interest. I remember seeing a star trail shot a while back that had an observatory in it - that worked pretty well, I think.
Really tough to pull this shot off with just a single exposure. THe noise in the upper left and the glare across the middle are distracting. Alos, I would have liked to see more foreground elements to provide additional interest.
The star trails need a little context here - though judging by the land in both bottom corners you did this by spinning around rather than a several hour exposure. Still, an interesting attempt. 6.
Good capture of long exposure. However, this makes me feel dizzy. I wish there was a point of reference so that I could stop spinning - the circular motion of the stars makes me feel this way.
