I rejected this shot from before the lockdown because I wasn't convinced I liked the composition but with a fresh pair of eyes I had a rethink:

Wentworth Needle's Eye is a 14-metre pyramid Grade II* listed building which is situated in Wentworth, South Yorkshire in northern England. Needle's Eye is one of several follies in and around Wentworth Woodhouse park.

For this shot I took 162 x 30 second exposures with a fisheye lens for the distorted curves and aimed for Polaris (aka The North Star) on the top right hand third. The fisheye lens is so wide I managed to get the trees over my head in the shot, hence the 16 x 9 crop.

The Needle's Eye is a great place to shoot in the dark; here's some more I prepared earlier...
