Long exposure drone halo image of the Glastonbury Tor, Somerset, England.
The most difficult part of taking this photo was achieving the correct balance of brightness by the drone LED lights to light up the building below but not to under expose the stars in the night sky by having the the LED lights too bright.
This is also dictated by the size and speed of the drone halo to match the length of time the camera is taking the image (30 seconds in this instance).
For example when the drone goes behind the Glastonbury Tor, I start taking the image. I then ensure the drone’s speed matches my camera’s exposure time to stop taking the image when the drone returns behind The Tor, creating a complete circle.
