These dazzling images reveal the night sky as it is seldom seen from a city of 5million people.
Photographer Justin Ng spends more than two hours per shot painstakingly capturing the movement of thousands of stars across the void, with spectacular results.
While images of 'star trails' - caused by the earth's rotation when photographed on a long exposure - are common, the 36-year-old digitally enhances his images taken in Singapore and combines several together to create the otherworldly final effect.
Mr Ng began taking astronomical images after he accidentally captured the Milky Way in 2012, on a visit to Mount Bromo in Indonesia.
'People are generally sceptical on star trails images taken in Singapore because the city is heavily light polluted,' he said. 'Many people don't believe such incredible star images can be taken here.
'In my shots, however, you can see the awe-inspiring views I've witnessed.'
However, he added: 'I see myself as an artist rather than a journalist, so some of my images may not make the purists happy. In order to create high quality night sky images, almost all of the images need to go through Photoshop.
'The post processing process becomes more tedious if images are captured in a heavily light polluted city like Singapore.
'I hope everyone can do their part to stop light pollution so we can preserve our dark sky for future generations.'
没错！这就是星轨！ 摄影师 Justin Ng 花了很长时间才拍摄出来的。 摄影师认为，自己更多是一个艺术家，而不是天文爱好者和记者。 所以，摄影师按照自己对星空艺术的理解，精心拍摄了这一组星轨图片！
Spectacular: The images look like a majestic multi-coloured firework or a painting, and are achieved by digitally knitting long-exposure shots together into one photo All lit up: Mr Ng began taking astronomical images after he accidentally captured the Milky Way in 2012, on a visit to Mount Bromo in Indonesia
Bridge to the sky: This image was captured in Punggol, Singapore, where many of Mr Ng's friends were sceptical because of the amount of light pollution
He said: 'I see myself as an artist rather than a journalist, so some of my images may not make the purists happy. Almost all of the images need to go through Photoshop'
Edge of the world: A lighthouse in Tuas, Singapore. The stars can be millions of light years away and are given a spiral effect by slowly rotating the camera
Like a rainbow: Star trails can be captured on long-exposure shots because the earth's rotation means the rest of the sky appears to move in relation to the ground
Fiery: This shot at Mount Bromo, Indonesia, would have comprised at least three different images digitally stitched together to achieve different levels of light
Perfect circle: Mr Ng said 'many people don't believe such incredible star images can be taken' in light-polluted Singapore - so he set about trying to prove them wrong |

楼主为啥要写上这句“摄影师 Justin Ng 花了很长时间才拍摄出来的。”误导我。
