Star trails, take two

Last night’s attempt to capture star trails was a bit more successful, although I didn’t adjust some settings I should have before taking the shots.  I noticed a significant color shift on the first capture, which was a 14 minute exposure.  I will need to play around with the white balance settings, as well as figure out a good length of time for each capture.  I’ve seen in many shots as little as 30 second exposure; I’ve got plenty of nights left this summer that will be warm enough to stand outside and fiddle around with a camera!

For someone new to night photography, I’d say it came out alright.  :)
