Basically you have to keep your camera’s lens open for about 30 seconds to capture the stars but to make it more interesting if you have some foreground elements and it is dark (no moon or street lights), you have to “paint the foreground” (trees, building, people etc) with a torch.

Here are some results from my first night shoot.

Stars and trees

Children bronze sculptures and milky way

Night sky, wind and trees

They were Workshops, Shows, Festivals and Competitions…

We were very excited to photograph this event as it was visually and emotionally compelling.
