How do I capture star trails in my photos?

To capture star trails, you'll need a camera with manual settings, a sturdy tripod, and a long exposure time.

What settings should I use on my camera?

Set your camera to manual mode, use a low ISO (like 100), a wide aperture (f/2.8 or lower), and a long exposure time, typically 20-30 minutes.

Do I need any special equipment?

A remote shutter release is helpful to avoid camera shake, and a wide-angle lens can capture more of the sky.

What location is best for star trail photography?

Look for dark areas away from city lights, such as national parks or remote countryside locations.
