Zeta Stars
by Mohammad Al-Mumen
This is not Catherine Zeta-jones Star but it is the stars of Zeta, a small place next to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. I stacked 240 images of 30-sec star trail images to get the total exposure.
Equipment: Nikon D700

In the words of Borat, I like!
Great effort and patience. I particularly like the smiley :/ in the center

Very nice. Nice area for clear view of sky.

Very interesting shot. The center of the image looks like a face–it could be me with a migraine from all that spinning! Very nice change of pace.

At first glance I did not think this to be a photograph. Yet the effort you expended to create this interesting picture convinced me it was indeed an unusual photo.

Real hard work and diligence.
240 exposures X 1/2 min = 2Hrs. of exposure time!! Holy Smoke!!
The entire shot must have taken you at least 3 1/2 to 4 hours to capture. Then the Post Processing.
Your labor of love has paid of very well.

It’s to look the reality “inside”, the secret hidden from the time in the space… A secret that has a center and a smile. Thanks, Mohammad!
