Startrails over "Neuschwanstein" Castle
Here you can see King Ludwigs "Neuschwanstein" castle in Southern Germany.
This shot was made in cooperation with Jon Kolb, a fellow astrophotographer from the US
and his wife Nancy, whom I met in Bavaria during their holidays in Europe.
This is not a "sandwich" picture, the "cuts" on the mountains egdes occured while
I've tried several digital filter in Corel Photopaint to increase the sky's contrast.
I need to rescan this shot as soon as I have a suitable slide scanner!
