Lighthouse (Leuchturm) Wittenbergen

I created this from 6 images which a three minute exposure each.

 

The Images are stacked together with Gimp following this rule:

1st image: 1/1

2nd image: 1/2

3rd image: 1/3

4th image: 1/4

...

 

So you put all images in Layers and choose the opacity as follows:

The first image at 100% opacity, the second one at 50%, the third one at 33% and so forth...

 

This technic is used in astronomic photography (of cause with much more images) and reduces noise so you could brighten the Image afterwards...

 

...any comments and critiques are welcome...

 

 

Just found a great ImageMagick Tool to get the stacking done in one-step:

 

> convert -average *.jpg output.png

 

easy isn't it? Espacally if you have more images...
