Took this last night. This is the Wheel Coates mine near St Agnes.
The moon light was really bright, but unfortunately not too many stars visible.
Total exposure time was about 40 min

Quite an amazing shot: my immediate reaction was what a lovely sunny afternoon until I saw the star trails, the lack of expected shadows and the smooth seas. I have never tried anything like this but shall have to keep it in mind. I just wonder how you decided on how long the exposure should be....you seem to have got it just spot on.

I am looking at this, and think... someone lived here once, loved here once, longed to be with someone, dreamt going out to sea... Beautiful airy nostalgic photo. Absolutely gorgeous moonlight shot, with 40min exposure. Krystal
Its subtle but apart from the stars the light has a slightly alien appearance.

WOW I love this the deffinition of the stone work the foamy sea and the shooting stars a great image

Nice one Matt, the moon has been hidden behind cloud or fog round here for the last week. The good thing about the full moon is it lights up the landscape but the sky brightness loses you the fainter stars.
