Great shot Don. Love these longer exposures. Color and composition are excellent. I wish there was a more identifiable silhouette in the photo but as is, it's more like an abstract painting or work of art.

Nice work.

Hi Don,
Congratulations on what I think is a spectacular shot on a very long time exposure. Interesting circular perspective and nice colors. TFS. Gerald

Hi Don,
I admire with your patient to make this photo, completed circles of star trails, not easy to have a good location to make this, always far from city to avoid from lights, dry weather to prepare the sky in fantastic color, interesting composition which have a rare posting in TE, excellent, perfect shoot.

I still have a lot to learn . . .

Fascinating photo, I never saw a full circle with the centre visable.
I think the shot would be ruined where I live, too many planes and satelites :)

Great experiment, impressive result, Don. How did you know the right exposure time to get these perfect circles? Congrats.

Very well done Don! I think this might inspire me to by an A1. I still have several rolls of Velvia sitting in my fridge. The colors are absolutely sublime!

Hi Don,
Je suis dans le même cas que Merline, c'est votre mésaventure qui m'a fait connaître votre galerie...comme quoi, la pub, ça fonctionne ! et pourtant des coups comme ça on devrait s'en passer - cet oliviermonge est un bien étrange personnage, je me suis fait piéger devant la qualité des photos et j'avais pris sous son nom celle ci, de vous, dans mes favorites, je n'ai plus qu'a recommencer l'opération, et cette fois sous la photo il y aura votre nom - "rendons à César ce qui appartient à César" - très belle galerie, vos photos sont splendides -
