Shutter Mike Photography

This was my second attempt at star trail photography and I like the results a bit more than my first attempt.  But I still see  room for improvement (and more late nights out in the middle of the desert).   This was taken at the Pine Flats campground near Sedona, AZ.  The camera is on a tripod and tilted to point straight up through the trees (at the bottom and top of the image).  I used a flashlight to paint light into the image and took 49 thirty second exposure images.  I then used a simple program from startrails.de to stitch the images together and PhotoShop to some final adjustments.
