Ocean Sky

At a star party in August 2009 I took my first long exposure photograph of the night sky. I was so thrilled with the results that I dedicated most moonless weekends since then to photographing two things I love the most in nature - the night sky and the Ocean.

Taking a series of images and combining them into a time lapse video sequence made it even more interesting. I have since experimented with all-night time lapses, panning motion, etc. But most importantly I've enjoyed the journey immensely.

This time lapse video is the result of almost 1.5 years of work, 31 hours of taking images during six nights on Southern Ocean Coast in Australia.

Ocean Sky was awarded the overall winner prize at STARMUS astrophotography competition:

Ok I try and try and try and my lens keeps fogging up when I make these star time lapses

you need to make or buy a heating strip and wrap it around the front of your lens. Google "kendrick firefly"

Northern Virginia definitely is not the right place. I wonder how long it'll be before I'm unable to see constellations altogether.

What are the proper settings you need to do a timelapse with photos? I'd assume you dont want too fast of an aperture otherwise you blurrs. Then shutter speed fast if you want no streaks and slow shutter if you want streaks? And... im guessing ISO and whitebalance you just match to make it to ur preference. I can only imagine the pain it takes to edit the photos to make this happen though.
