I took some time to position Polaris directly above the chimney in my composition. I then set up my intervalometer [automatic shutter release] and took a series of frames that were stacked in Photoshop to create the star trail. I really like the vortex effect it creates. I did a little light painting with a light I placed inside the mine and then blended this with the stacked star trail to add some life to the image.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57232677273980,"sku":"SS0702","price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2459\/8861\/files\/Vortex-magnet.jpg?v=1789380602","url":"https:\/\/shop.rmg.co.uk\/products\/apy-2026-vortex-magnet","provider":"Royal Museums Greenwich Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
