Haliburton, Ontario. Taken on the ice in late January, this shot comprises 160 individual 30-second exposures stacked together to create star trails circling Polaris, the North Star, showing the earth's rotation.
The decision to shoot from the ice was deliberate. Lakes in Haliburton offer unobstructed views of the night sky, free from light pollution. The frozen surface provided a stable platform and created a foreground to anchor what was happening above.
In the final image, concentric circles of starlight spiral around Polaris. The trails range from white to blue, with occasional warmer tones from more distant stars. Below, the snow-covered lake stretches toward the treeline, a dark silhouette separating earth from sky.
This photograph makes a statement in any space, but works particularly well in studies, libraries, or spaces where its quality can be appreciated. The circular composition naturally draws the eye to the centre.
Printing on Chromaluxe metal is essential for this image — the surface dramatically enhances the brilliance of the star trails against the deep darkness. The metal's luminous quality makes the stars appear to glow with intensity that paper cannot match.
