Short nightlapse video shot in Ocotillo Wells, California

George7806 · 17th of December 2010 (Fri)

The exposure and interval settings right.Shooting at 10 mm created a little distortion towards the edges which looks kind of interesting.It's short but should be part of a bigger composition once I shoot more.C&C are always welcome, as I have much to learn. Best viewed in HD full screen.Anyways little bit of info about the settings and PP:
Thanks for looking!

-Canon 7D with Sigma 10-20mm 3.5
-Shooting at 10 mm f4 1600ISO 20 sec exposure with 5 sec. breaks in between.
-About 450 shots from 1:30AM to 5:40AM
-Raw files processed in LR exporting as TIFF's into AE.
-Texting and sequencing was done in AE, Sound was added in Adobe Premier.

The star trails looks like magnetic lines of flux. I like them.

Thank you guys, I appreciate the comments! About 450 shots were taken over the course of 5 hours. 20 sec exposure, 5 sec between shots. 24fps composition was created by After Effect.

very cool. I love the deep blue/black of the sky contrasting with the hazy yellow of the clouds.

There were really interesting colors that night. I'm not even sure what lit up the clouds, as there was no sizable city within 100 miles radius...
