Cusworth Hall and Lake Star Trails



September 2019, 35mm Nikon D750, around 30 minutes of exposures.

Very tricky to edit because of cloud in a lot of the shots, I could have discarded those frames but that would mean much shorter trails. So some photoshop magic was involved to remove them, the reflection in the lake is not real, for two reasons, the aforementioned cloud and also there was a swan and other water foul floating around which made trails. So I copied the vista, flipped it and using one of my cleaner 'real' reflection frames as a reference I blurred (it was fairly still but a bit of a breeze which moved the water surface), stretched and darkened the reflection to match what it should look like.
