You need to keep your shutter open for long time.. Like bulb mode in dslr...

@serpent ....change to shutter speed mode and increase the time to the max....1/200->1/30->1->max

so when u shoot the pic it will capture all the happenings within that period of time

 

[theserpent]

Sorry i'm a slow learner whats this .1/200->1/30->1->max ?

 

[mastervk]

Move your shutter speed in that manner...in DSLR if you will increase shutter speed like this you will enter bulb mode

 

[sujoyp]

mastervk we are decreasing the shutter speed from 1/200 of a sec to 1 sec to max possible time the shutter can keep open

Serpent,
I guess, you have already asked similar question before. As we have already suggested, better read the manual and basics of photography online. It will help you understand when people explain things...

It's hard if you don't understand when people explain in simple things using "photography" terms...

 

[theserpent]

Okay i got it..

Monument Valley by Manish Mamtani, on Flickr


I asked him how to shoot this and the answer is ...go deep into places where u find no light other than ur camera lcd screen...and the sky should be crystal clear at that time ....he is an awesome photographer....

Yeah normally we don't see stars because of light and pollution. But if you are in a village or somewhere far you can get very good trails... almost perfect hemispheres with a good DSLR.

The problem with a point and shoot is that I cant see what am shooting. LCD is black and composition is based on luck. Also I cannot do very long exposures... something like 10mins gives a very noisy image even at ISO100. And 2 mins isn't long enough for trails. Another way is to take composite shots.. which I am going to try soon! For the above shot I zoomed in... to get visible trails even with 2 min exposure

@prashant ...nice to hear that u have studied it well before taking

this can be done without the bulb mode and stuff .... you do need some place stable to put your camera though ...

he he, needed something that could remain stationary. Being the lazy guy that I am I thought that will test it out and then retake one with a better focal object .... that never happened
