 Star Trails never seem to score that well, but I love doing them! Pity my backgarden isnt very photogenic :(

Its interesting (to me at least!) to compare this to a previous startrail I entered with the 18-55. I think there is a marked improvement!

Not much editing, but had to get rid of a large dust-bunny glad thats ok in basic now

Heh - another spinning star shot. I keep wondering whether someone saw my recent Sacred entry ...

This is pretty - I like the purple color. I'd just like there to be a little more foreground for context. It's the contrast between the swirling stars and the dead-still ground that creates the most visual interest for me.
