Night Photography: Stacking Technique For Star Trails - TMELive.com

In this Night Photography tutorial Patti Schulze gives you an alternate way to create star trail photographs. This technique, known as the stacking method, involves making a number of short exposures, and combining them using an action in Photoshop to create the illusion of one long exposure with long star trails. This method eliminates the need for using noise reduction and can dramatically reduce the amount of time needed in the field to create star trail photographs. Patti outlines the equipment, exposure, and Photoshop techniques needed to execute this wonderful Night Photography technique.

what cable release do you have that you are able to set the settings you have?

I have the Canon Timer Remote Controller, TC-80N3. The controller has a timer, interval timer, long exposure timer and exposure-count setting.

Thanks!

@45Bigz HOLY CRAP, that is actually what they call me... Oh its been a while since anyone said it, you see it all came about while I was sailing your mum and she was climbing my mast and all that and someone shouted out "Jesus, your like Captain Cunt"... because there was a few of us there, and we were all like "we should all have names" so whilst im captain cunt, there is first mate asshole, deckhand rimjob and of course last, but not least, the cook, Mr face rape. Ask her, its a funny story.
