Milky Way Time Lapse Photography - 22-25.08.2011

This is my debut attempt at time lapse photography. Also, this is my first Milky Way photo session ever The cropped cover shot shows non-stationary satellites reflecting sunlight. The beginnings of the lines are exact locations where two dots appeared, some 5 seconds apart. The shot had 30" exposure, so what you see is a trail left by two "dots" appearing and later dissapearing.

The video consists of 394 still photographs, shot with Canon Rebel XS (1000 D) and a 18-55mm kit lens, on a tripod. Light pollution was significant, and the final part of the video is problematic since that night was windy (camera was not completely still) and even clouds appeared to spoil the session.

I am an amateur photographer and you can check my photo gallery at http://www.moody-cat.com

Music is also composed by me. The track is "Cat's Mood" and is a part of the Cat's Mood demo recorded from 1999-2003. You can check all the tracks on Myspace http://www.myspace.com/boskomartinovic
