Star Trails Over Pliocene Clay Lake Bed


Star Trails Over Pliocene Clay Lake Bed
Star Trails over erosion patterns in Pliocene-era bentonite clay in a former lake bed in rural Nevada.

The eroded hills were partially lit by the moon, but also illuminated using a ProtoMachines LED2 light set to approximately the same color temperature as moonlight.

    Awesome shot Jeff! Did you buy a photomachine light? I'd love to have one but yikes they are expensive!

    John Getchel  I did.  I figured that for serious light painting and night photography instruction, it's important to have a light adjustable in stops of light, and which I can use to create either a wide variety of colors or a range of cool to warm shades of white.

    I like that kind of hillside, Jeff Sullivan. Aside from a wonderful place to explore with an active curiosity, I can see it like playing with a larger-scale formation than sand tufas, smaller scale than Bryce. Repeating patterns and shapes...with a vengeance!

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video) The Orionid Meteor Shower this year was a bit of a dud. I was shooting up at 11,000 feet in the White Mountains and ran my camera for about 4 hours, from 10:40pm Friday until 2:50am, well after the moon came up. To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos. Here's one of the more recent ones building on those pasts posts: Create a Timelapse Video of a Meteor Shower http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-timelapse-video-of-meteor-shower.html I'm curious to see how an HD 720P video gets displayed on G+.
