Milky Way and airglow over the salt ponds of Fuencaliente: La Palma, Canary Islands

Time-lapse @ vimeo.com/144895103

 

A fish-eye view of the Milky Way over the salt ponds of Fuencaliente on the southern tip of La Palma (Canary Islands) on Oct. 8, 2015. Note the airglow (green / yellow / orange haze) and the reflection of the stars in the ponds. The lighthouses are to the right. More about the salt ponds at salinasdefuencaliente.es/en/our-history/

 

Trying to keep the photos / videos realistic without too much editing (ie. not highlighting the dark foreground or blackening the skies).

 

I visited the island of La Palma (Canary Islands) to attend the "Astromaster" advanced landscape - astrophotography timelapse workshop. Please take the time to visit the links below:
