<p>As usual, another night of star trails - but this time I wanted a blend of techniques in a single frame.<br />
I added a bit of life to this abandoned Dodge bus using basic light-painting to bring out the interior glow and highlight the details.<br />
<br />
The foreground (bus + landscape) is made from 8 stacked exposures to reduce noise:<br />
ISO 800 / f/2.8 / 75 sec<br />
<br />
The star trails are created from 1,200 photos, combined with StarStax:<br />
ISO 800 / f/2.8 / 5 sec / 5 sec interval<br />
<br />
In total, the sky exposure adds up to 3 hours and 20 minutes, until clouds finally rolled in and I had to stop shooting.<br />

Unter dem Motto &quot;Eure soziale Kälte, unser Widerstand&quot; demonstrierten am Samstag, 22. November 2025, rund 300 Menschen in Saarbrücken für eine gerechte Sozialpolitik. Aufgerufen hatte ein breites Bündnis aus Gewerkschaften, Initiativen und Parteien. Vom Landwehrplatz zogen sie nach einer Auftaktkundgebung durch die Saarbrücker Innenstadt, am Staatstheater vorbei zurück zum Landwehrplatz<br />
<br />
Der rechte Aktivist Nils Wagner (&quot;RDJ Saar&quot;) hatte gegen die Demonstration einen Gegenprotest angemeldet, der vom Hauptbahnhof aus starten sollte. Aufgrund der geringen Teilnehmerzahl – neben ihm waren nur zwei weitere Personen gekommen – wurde die Versammlung zunächst abgesagt. Kurz darauf meldete er mit einer Handvoll weiterer Aktivist*innen am Landwehrplatz eine Spontanversammlung an und versuchte die dortige Kundgebung mit einschlägigen Naziparolen zu stören. In der Spitze acht Rechte folgten dann, begleitet von der Polizei, dem Aufzug durch die Stadt.<br />
<br />
Beide Versammlungen wurden vom rechten Streamer Sebastian Weber (alias Weichreite TV) live im Internet übertragen. Zusammen mit weiteren Medienaktivist*innen provozierte er wiederholt Teilnehmende des Sozialprotestes. Die Polizei erteilte mehrfach Platzverweise.</p>
