Beach Trails
Here’s my first moderately successful attempt at star trails! I took this in Florida in 2008, so it’s an oldie. I don’t do enough night photography. I love long exposures so night photography seems like something I’d like to do, but I just don’t enough. Maybe soon I’ll do more; I’ve got some ideas in mind. This was 573 seconds by the way; around 9.5 minutes.

Whoa. That's cool. I was just looking at this beach on Google Maps yesterday. I wonder why parts of the beach are lit differently, especially the lower part because I don't remember any sources of light down there. Maybe the ocean was reflecting light onto it. I also wonder why some of the stars move to the side more than others. Maybe the ones that don't appear to move are farther away.
ReplyDeleteOh, now that I'm looking at it on a computer screen and not my phone, I can see that the stars are moving in a uniform pattern around a central axis. That's cool. I was wondering if I would ever see these pictures.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about this Florida trip! Anyone up for another trip down there this summer or perhaps when I graduate?
ReplyDeleteThe light is interesting. I'd assume it is a side effect of the post processing, but we will have to wait to see what the photographer says about it.
You know, I say keep me signed in google, so why is it that I always have to click sign in when I want to post a comment!
Thanks for the comments!
ReplyDeleteI believe that the difference in lighting is because of the lights picked up from the Diplomat. I remember there being a few lights out on the walkway, and since this was such a long exposure it picked them up as brighter than they would appear in person. The fact that the lower beach is brighter than the upper must be because of the positioning of some lights in relation to where I was and the contours of the beach.
What a great place!
