PIX4581422: Star Line - The constellation of Orion - Star trails - The constellation of Orion - Because of the Earth's rotation, leaving the camera open, the stars advance towards the background of the sky. During the installation, gradually changing the focal length of the lens, the stars spread out and reveal their true color. Here is the constellation of Orion photographed in this way during a 30-minute installation in ISO 400. Here one sees the stars of the constellation of Orion recorded in an exposure of about 30 minutes, during which time the lens focus was moved from infinity to about 1 meter in a series of 10 steps about three minutes apart. The effect is to reveal the star colours and that of the vivid red Orion nebula / Bridgeman Images
