I went to an unknown remote place at Bagan Lalang with my newly formed star trailing group last Sunday. We knew that we were lucky because that's the day where the annual Geminids meteor shower peaks, but we only realised that we were double-lucky to pick the place and timing, on our way back to K.L.
First, the Bagan Lalang sky of the day was getting clearer while the night approaching. Secondly, after a disappointing search for a dark place at the beach area, we bumped into a near perfect place which is never in our original plan.
We were well prepared for the situation, except that none of us was aware that fog is building up on the camera lens while time lapsed and the ambient temperature dropped.
Both photo were stacked from multiple of 30s shots at 18mm, f/3.5 and ISO-400.
No, these are no meteor (although I did managed to witness some). It's just me that shot at the eastern sky, while I should be pointing my camera to the north-east. :|

if these are not meteor, then what are them?
These are star trails.
Why? Because our planet is spinning while rotating around the sun. You do realised that the sun and moon rises and sets every day right? It's similar to stars (stars "changes" position in the sky, from east to west).
So when I took a long exposure photo against the night sky, I will get the trails "traveled" by stars.
