Back for Good
I’m back yet again! It was a thrilling experience riding motorbikes up the mountains and hot springs, but more on that later. The weather in Northern Thailand was really cool and refreshing, the natural landscape magnificent beyond words. I’ll be sharing my experiences with photos in the next few upcoming entries, but let me post up a couple of star trails shots in the mountains for the time being. 
This is a composite HDR image made up of 8 pictures of about 5-minute exposure each. The streaks of white lines show the more visible stars, as the rest of the stars were unfortunately overwhelmed by the strong moonlight.
This is a single image taken at about 5.30am. Exposure time was 1127 seconds. More star streaks were seen here as the moon went hiding over at the other side. The brightness from the left shows the shine from the rising sun.
