Star trails and solar panels

MARK PELLEYMOUNTER, CHAPEL LANE SOLAR FARM, DORSET, 2 JANUARY 2017

Mark says: “During winter months when the Milky Way is not at its most spectacular, I like to create star trails to show Earth’s rotation, but these kind of images need a strong foreground interest. The hardest part was balancing the light pollution from a nearby town with the sky.”

Equipment: Canon EOS 7D DSLR camera, Sigma 10-20mm lens.
