Jarlshof and stars of the past

Jarlshof is one of the most visited historical sites in Shetland and its good to capture the main building, Lairds House at night especially when the stars are showing


It was a moonless night and fairly dark although the lights from Sumburgh hotel and airport crept over onto Jarlshof and did light the buildings, although still needed some additional light painting.



I first tried a short Star trail then moved round to capture the building with Sumburgh head in the back ground. With the moon I was able to use ISO800 which resulted in less noise.



Its good getting to Jarlshof at night when no one is around, although you have to be careful where you walk otherwise you will fall down one of several large holes and get an alternative view of the stars



At night you have to watch where you are going as there are a lot of very wide deep holes to fall down if you get distracted.
