Photographer’s Note
...I take a walk outside,
I'm surrounded by some kids at play,
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away.....

Enjoy this spinning view:)

Hi Viktor, how did you made that spin effect? I think you used very long exposrure, but I can understand how the star rotate in circles, is it an astrological characteristic of New Zeland?
Thanks for share the moment.

Hello Viktor,
An excellent "star trails" astrophotograph with either the Milky Way galaxy or the Great Magellanic clouds in the center of the frame. I have read that the Southern Hemisphere has the best views of the heavens with the Great Magellanic clouds (satellite galaxies of the Milky Way galaxy) and some marvelous globular clusters (I am an amateur astronomer). You did a superb job with this photo!
Best Regards,
Stan

Hi Viktor.
A very great shot, good use of a long long long exposure. I like composition with the center of the group of stars in a corner of the picture. Congratulations for this nice work.
Angel.

hello Victor
ah, it is southern hemisphere, that's why I see clouds which should be the Magellanics!
Not sure about perfect focus: the stars seem big.
well composed.
