Lardman and I decided to go out to a hill behind his place to see if we could get some nice star trails unfortunately that wasn’t to be since it decided to be overcast.
So instead we ended up shooting timelapses. Lessons learnt from our first time shooting for an extended time at night: bring entertainment, blankets, hot food and drink.
This was the short timelapse I ended up with.
While eating dinner over at a family friend’s home I noticed their balcony afforded a grand view of the sky.
Unfortunately I was only able to have time to take photos after dinner was over so it ended up being rather dark when I shot this quick panorama.
I post processed it Photoshop CS3 to brighten the center and added a some vinetting around the edges to focus the image more.
Turned out quite well I reckon.
