Ocean Sky

Time lapse video from the south of Australia by Alex Cherney - the music is a bit cheesy for me, but the video is awesome:



"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 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.
