When I arrived in Yosemite to shoot the rising moon in November 2012, I was pleased to find autumn leaves floating down the Merced River. Building upon the “leaf trails” concept I started in the Eastern Sierra last month, I set up for several compositions at night and tried a few short star trails images and a couple of longer time-lapse sequences to capture the motion.
Now a staple shot we pursue in my Yosemite fall workshops, join us to practice these unique shots: this year’s schedule.
If you’d like to try this but can’t join us, search my blog for “star trails” to find my instructional article.

It's a shame about the technology issues but at least this is a beautifully captured image!
Great pic!
Avoiding upgrade to Win 8 - just getting used to Win 7!

+Kamal Singh +Michael Nestler we should totally go and go star gazing in Yosemite valley.
Excellent shot!
I wish I could downgrade to Windows 7 +Kirk Mathew Gatzka. I hadn't heard that Windows 8 would ship that week, so I didn't even pay attention to the OS when I was choosing the laptop, I just wanted a high quality 1920 x 1080 display and a 1TB drive, but what a mistake this ended up being.
Very awesome!
Yes, I would be very worried about having to use Windows 8 at this point.
