Elk Island Star Trails

So I knew to get lots of stars I needed to get out of the city so here’s a star trail shot taken yesterday at Elk Island National Park. It was nice because we were able to have a fire to keep warm while waiting for the camera. We roasted some hot dogs and marshmallows and listened to music to pass the time, almost two hours, that it took to get all the necessary shots. The first shot I took was of us sitting on the bench and I blended that in after creating the star trails with the rest of the photos using a great free program called StarStax by Markus Enzweiler.

All of the proceeds from the sale will go directly to help support our friends working at Inundo Development in South Africa which is a great organization really making a difference in the community. Every little bit makes a difference, even a small digital download for your desktop!
