It seems every time I shoot star trails I stick to a recipe of facing south and shooting wide. So I thought I'd change things up a little. So for this shot of Horse Head Rock I shot more zoomed in (35mm, still wide but at the limit of my 16-35mm lens) and I faced east to ignore the SCP. I'm very happy with the result and I just might start doing it more often.
