Now glue all those pics in Photoshop. Open all the pics in layers and combine with "lighter" setting. (D800E, Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 at 70mm, 30 sec, ISO = 400)
When the sun sets, it's time to pack and go back to your hotel/tent/cabin? No, it's time to shoot more. Star trail photography is easy. For this pic, I set my camera at 30 sec exposure and f/2.8. Yes, you should set everything manual. I manual-focused a little shy of infinity. You have to play with ISO to find the best exposure with the setting. Once you are satisfied with the exposure (make sure to check the actual picture and histogram), then you can start the time lapse procedure. First you need to turn off the slow shutter noise reduction so that there is no time lag. Then, set the shutter to the continuous mode. Then finally, shoot with a shutter release cable locked. Because it's locked and set continuous, the shutter automatically releases every 30 seconds. For this pic, I shot 5 continuous 30 second shot.

I took this at Death Valley. I was about to leave the dunes and I saw few kids with the dress. It looks like I took this picture in 1950's. Conveniently, I had my 70-200mm on my D800E to capture this shot, compressing near and far in one plane. Don't go there in summer. This was in February and already 80 degrees.

In Central Texas, we don't get too much fall colors. When I do I need to capitalize it. I need to find a spot where that little color pops out. This tree stands out because all the other trees and background are not red. (Nikon D800E, Nikkor 70-200mm at 80mm, 1/80, ISO = 250, F/13)
