Star trails are a common subject amongst astrophotographers. When they’re not trying to capture the milky way, they’re showing the path that our stars take in the night sky.

It’s not going to be a perfect recreation of how the stars move through the sky, but it will let you achieve a similar effect.

Nemanja Sekulic is a photographer, Digital artist, and Educator who creates dynamic conceptual imagery.

With my work, I try to reflect the idea of everything being possible, the ideal concept of no restraints. What I love more than anything is the reaction of those I show how it was done. We never outgrow our childlike ability to be amazed. At least I know I haven’t.”
