“If you can't be a highway, then just be a TRAIL,
If you can't be the sun, be a STAR;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail-
Be the best of whatever you are.”- Douglas Malloch

*Apps used- Google Camera , Intervalometer, Light Trails, Snapseed

* A perfect Star Trail Photography needs so much effort and props... A place with no lights and most importantly finding the position of the Northern Star.. It is possible with many apps available in app stores, but the difficult part is finding a place with no trace of light or a place with total darkness. So many procedures are there after finding the suitable atmosphere. In my Case I have taken this shot in balcony of my house. The main problems i have faced include the presence of street light and the position of the Northern Star . The result is a partial spiral part without the Centre. Star Trail Photography is not a Single shot but it's a stack of photographs ( i have taken almost 100 photos and stacked them to create the final output).

*Intervalometer- The most important App , it acts as the automatic shutter button in the procedure. By setting the time to click the shutter at regular intervals the app will automatically capture the amount of photos we need. ( Here I captured 100 photos)

*Light Trails- It is the app used to Stack the 100 photos. (It is available in App store)

*Astrophotography or Smartphone Phone with Manual camera mode- Google pixel 4a doesn't come with Manual mode but it has Astrophotography mode. I have used the Astrophotography mode.

*Snapseed- I have edited the final photo in Snapseed.
