Isolated

            My third attempt to shoot stars at Den Treek and I finally succeeded!

Just after sunset I arrived at the scene. The sky was clear and it was windstill, which was important for the kind of shot I wanted. I had set up a shot but then the full moon rose above the tree line. It gave me so much front light it was almost like shooting towards the sun.

Because of the moon my shots didn't turn out like I wanted and tried some other compositions to take advantage of the moon, but I wasn't satisfied.

I wanted to shoot away from the moon to make lemonade from the big lemon in the sky. So I followed a small path into the fields, tripped a couple of times in the darkness over dead pieces of wood and hidden ditches, but found this isolated tree. With the moon in the back I managed to shoot two 11 minute shots. The battery died otherwise I would have shot another one. The shots I have are combined into one and I think the result is pretty decent!

I like the simple composition and the arc of the stars. There were some little flowers in the grass in front of the tree you can barely see but I think it is a nice touch.

I would love to read your opinions!
