Stilt Stack

"Stilt Stack" How many photographs do you think it took to complete this shot? One? Ten? Fifteen? Any guesses?

 

 

Truth be told, it took one hundred and ninety five individual images to create this image! Combined, this amounts to about forty five minutes of exposure time. Normally, I would have completed this type of image with significantly less but I needed to capture all of these images for a project I am working on. You'll find out what that is in a few weeks.

 

 

Those of you familiar with the Falmouth area might recognize this stilt house along Shore Drive. I've lurked around here in the dark before but this is by far the longest amount of time I have spent there. What makes this spot great is that the best angle of this house (in my opinion) allows me to shoot north where the rotation of the Earth is most obvious in these great curved star trails.
