Night Photography on the Alps

 

Star trail, single exposure lasted 1 hour, taken of course in a moonless night.

 

I've been so many times above the clouds that I no longer even remember how many...

For me it has become a totally normal thing to see below me a lovely carpet of clouds.

 

Since the late evening this carpet of clouds was entirely shrouding the Valle Gesso, Natural Park of the Maritime Alps (Italy).

From my vantage point I saw that this valley was pointing slightly to the north, so I instantly knew that thanks to Earth's rotation through a very long exposure I would have got the trails of the stars converging right into the cloudscape! Almost like a logical continuation, an extension of it :-) With some distant light pollution coming from the valleys of Cuneo that would have provided a proper hint of light (light pollution is such a precious component in night photography, unfortunately too often misunderstood and underestimated by beginners).

And so it was, as evidenced by this photo.

 

It has been really fascinating to fix this interrelation between such elements so ethereal and peculiar (stars, light, clouds). A minimalist and silent dialogue... as I love to understand and live the mountain, in serene and peaceful solitude, admiring these bridges toward the otherworldly.

I am pretty sure: in silence there is the answer.

Star trails over the river Cain, Trawsfynydd

I was working in the Western Grampians and was lucky enough to get some time and good weather to get these startrails over the Rocklands Reservoir we were camping next to.

My first attempt to startrail photography. Shorter pausing times for the next time, looks a little bit funny on this photo. More stars would also be nice :-)

Phare du petit minou, à Plouzané.

181 prises, depuis le couché du soleil (22h06), durant l'heure bleue, et pendant la "nuit noire", jusqu'à 01h15.

Les lignes blanches représentent le défilé des étoiles, et la grosse ligne lumineuse à droite est la Lune.

Finally get into processing some of those time lapse into startrails photography. This one taken from Zion National Park on a moonlit night back in April, 2014.

The final sequence consists of over 600 frames. I took out 200+ frames with clear sky, cloned out all the airplane in the sequence then process them into startrails. Bring it back into Photoshop and did all the final adjustments. Hope you like it!

Thanks for viewing!!

Startrails over the International Car Forest of the Last Church, Goldfield, NV. Over 40 cars have been embedded, nose-down, along a dirt road on the outskirts of town. Created by Mark Rippie and Chad Sorg.

 

Frankly, I found this place a little creepy at night. I stayed long enough to let one camera run a time-lapse series while I meanwhile danced and stumbled around with my light stick. You can see the area is just south of town, as the camera is pointing north, with some low clouds over the town itself. This stack is about 163 images, Canon 5DIII with 14mm F2.8L, at f2.8, ISO 2000, 30 seconds each, for about 1.5 hours elapsed time, stacked with StarStaX "comet" option.

Went to the coast to catch the prseid meteor shower. Saw a few (you can see some in the shot, but actually the startrail conditions were pretty good. Would have been even better if some joker hadnt walked over the bridge with a torch....

 

Thanks for the kind comments and faves - explored at number 299

Zaamslagveer - Netherlands

A clear weekend with relatively clear skies, it was inevitable I'd be going somewhere to try and shoot stars, and being that I've only seriously attempted trails once before, thought I'd give it another shot.

 

This is made up of 90 shots stacked in the startrails program.

 

Unlike the last time where the trails went smoothly, it seems that it wasn't to be the case this time, and in looking at the exif data between shots, it seems that there's a 2 second gap in between shots (and not really sure why).

 

I used a shutter release cable on continuous shooting mode, F/2.8, 30 seconds, at ISO 500.

 

Not really sure how (or if) this can somehow be fixed up in post processing, and I'm curious as to why there is a gap this time, when there wasn't a visible gap last time I tried it (the exif on the older startrail image also shows the 2 second gap between shots)

A nice clear night for a startrail with satellite pass and an Iridium flare.

in the forest at home

I combined 257 frames shot at 25 seconds each and at ISO 2000 to make this shot.

 

Stonewall Peak in the background. Shot this from site #7 in the Paso Picacho campground. Orange glow on the trees is from my campfire.

 

Cuyamaca Rancho State Park is a state park in California, USA, located 40 miles (64 km) east of San Diego in the Laguna Mountains of the Peninsular Ranges. The park's 26,000 acres (11,000 ha) feature pine, fir, and oak forests, with meadows and streams that exist due to the relatively high elevation of the area compared to its surroundings. The park includes 6,512-foot (1,985 m) Cuyamaca Peak, the second-highest point in San Diego County.

 

The name "Cuyamaca" is a Spanish version of the name the native Kumeyaay peoples used for this place. In water-short Southern California, the Indians called the area Ah-Ha Kwe-Ah Mac, meaning "the place where it rains."
