Hanua, Waterfall, Auckland, New Zealand, Circumpolar star trail, monochrome, water, cliffs, trees.
This is a composite image consisting of a 10 minute exposure for the foreground and hundreds of 30 second exposures of the sky blended in photoshop to reveal the motion of the stars when facing south where all stars travel in a circle around a central point (in the Southern Hemisphere this is within the Southern Cross constellation). This kind of star trail is called a circumpolar star trail. Hanua Falls, within the Hanua Ranges in Auckland, happens conveniently to face south. I stood in freezing winter temperature waters in my gumboots for 2 and a half hours to compose this image and it was totally worth it. This location, despite being in Auckland, suffers from very little light pollution, and it was so still, all I could hear was the soothing sound of the waterfall and the occasional call of a morepork – a truly magical night.
