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:

  • Alex, This is thoroughly excellent work.I am impressed how can keep the exposure level so consistent across each frame. Thank you for posting...

    btw have you seen the 1 Trillion FPS camera

  • That is beautiful! Excellent work. I'd say time well spent :)

  • WOW!! If I want to take pictures of the sky/stars like you did here, is 50mmF1.8 good or 30mmF2.8 do a better job? I should go for the lenses with the lowest possible F numbers right?
