Few nights back the temperature was minus 30 degree celsius and the forecast was for the winds to pick up and take the temperature to minus 41. Perfect time for night photography. I put on as many layers as I could and then headed out. The plan was to take 16 thirty seconds consecutive exposures, then return home and combine them all together with the magic of software to create star trails. With first quarter of the moon out, not all the stars were going to be visible, which was what I wanted. What was a nice surprise were the low clouds, they add to the mood. After setting up the equipment and taking few test shots. I let the camera handle the rest while I did my best to stay warm by dancing in the dark. I should have called it a night after the last image, but I decided to play around more with few different locations and shots before heading home as the winds started to pick up.
Mount Rundle
I was out middle of the night to take pictures of Perseid Meteor Shower, I was able to see few bright outbursts, but I was not lucky enough to capture them with my camera. But I did not come back empty handed, I was able to create star trail pictures.
Until next moment,

Mount Rundle and Star Trails
Was out again during the night taking pictures of the night sky, always helped by having some clouds in the sky and in this case also helped with light coming from the rising moon behind the clouds.

Mount Rundle
