The Q8 Expats Photography Club is organizing a star trails photography workshop this weekend. Star trails photography involves long exposure shots of either the sky or landscapes where the movement of the stars in the sky form light trails in your shots.
If you bring an extra camera or if you get bored trying to capture star trails they will also be painting with light so you could participate in that.
Here is a list of gear you need to bring:
1. A DSLR
2. A tripod
3. Cable release or intervalometer (for star trailing shots)
4. Bring extra batteries or at least fully charge yours
5. A high capacity memory card
6. Torch/Lights/Flash (for light painting)
The gathering will take place in Al-Rai outside The Sultan Center right next to McDonalds on the 4th Ring Road. It’s opposite all the car dealerships. The meetup will be at 4:30PM and they’ll then depart to the main location at 5:00PM. For more information visit their Facebook page [Here]

What about the star trails? Did you’ll manage to get some good ones?
I was more interested in Light painting /fire spiting and metal wool, as you know you have to dedicate your camera for a long for star trails.
