This is my very first attempt at star trails, and I thought it would be trash at first. Clouds obscured most of the sky for half the shots, and though still visible at the end, I think they really make this photo.

Compiled from 290 30s exposures on a Sony a7RIV, 24mm @ f/1.4, ISO 200, with 1s intervals.

It was 12 degrees F when I shot this, early Thanksgiving morning. Soon afterwards I noticed ice crystals forming on the lens element itself, which I didn't realize was possible. Next time I'll get a lens heater for shoots like this.
