Star Trail Time Lapse

I started with this picture, taken two weeks ago:



I loved the colors, but obviously should have been standing in a better place. I went back a few nights ago, and grabbed this much cleaner shot of the same ride, this time from the other side:



Then I decided to set up a time lapse of 13 second exposures, every 20 seconds, so that I could watch the stars move. I managed to snag only 43 frames before boardwalk security found us, and kicked us out. And fog rolled in, right in the middle. But the video drips with potential, and makes me want to go back and get kicked out a few more times:



I also want to tear down the metal guard rail around the ride. :(
