2011Old John Star Trails and Star Fields at Bradgate Park, Leicester
Star Trails at Old John in Bradgate Park
Following on from my well received tutorial on Star Trails and Star Fields, and making the most of the clear skies we’d been having, I ventured back out with my good friend Mark Huddlestone over to Bradgate Park in Leicester in order to take some star trails and star fields around Old John.
Old John is a bit of a cliché around these parts – so I hoped by adding the star fields I’d create something a little new.
Fortunately, just before we called it a night we spotted the faintest glimpse of the Milky Way in the sky. A quick composition change, and a change of orientation and I just managed to capture it on camera!

Hi there, Can I use the top image for one of my soundcloud tracks? Just because theres a lyric about Old John and I didn’t want to just nab it. I only need a screen grab if you were ok with that? Thanks, T
