Alt Title... How to Break the 90 Second limit. There are literally hours here passing before you in seconds. Space time! Technically this is an animation of individual frames shot on a Canon 300D in timelapse fashion. There are over 1063 individual frames time compressed to fit about 30secs. It was shot over a number of nights. The frames have been manipulated in an animation style create several effects. The hardest shot is where a trailed pic moves across the sky, not as individual stars but an arc. This involved a bit of crafty batch processing and actions in Photoshop. In fact, all the motion was achieved by turning layers on and off in photoshop and using image sequences in Quicktime Player. Oh, I wrote the music too. Cos I'm sad like that. I know video is controversial right now and I'm kinda against it in many ways, particularly the non-separation of video and images. Foremost I want to be a photographer. This time lapse stuff sort of fits as a halfway house and will probably be the only type of moving image I upload. In the meantime watch it or don't watch it. I don't care! For the purists you can go here or here to see the finishing star trails composites but with out them moving.... Seen in Explore No. 40
