    Great shots, IPClark!

    For my own edification, did you use any filter? I never tried this kind of very long exposure before, but I would have thought it would bring more details in the trees, for example.

    Thanks guys. :)

    Niepice, no filters were used for this shot. Simply the camera pointed up towards the trees and sky.

    I would imagine there are a few "creative" filters that could be used. Maybe IR's (Although not sure if it would work) and colour filters but most star trails I've seen are generally unaltered camera states. :)
