Behind The Lens

Location

Elenkamen, Lake Ohrid.

Time

Early afternoon. This is a stacked-up composite. The EXIF was lost in post-processing, and I deleted the component photos. Thus, the final EXIF is not relevant.

Lighting

A series of 20 photos stacked, each shot with automatic timer - sequencer, using separate light measuring. Natural daylight, Daylight WB.

Equipment

SONY F-828 with a timer / sequencer, about 20 photos shot at 2 minute intervals, off the tripod.

Inspiration

The vista of the Lake and the incoming clouds traveling over it.

Editing

Used a photo stacking program named Starstax to add all shots to one final picture. Otherwise no interventions, save re-sizing for upload.

In my camera bag

Two cameras, filters, memory cards and batteries... in this case, also a tripod, and a timer to enable me to shoot a series of time-lapse photos.

Feedback

Many new cameras have inbuilt timers for time-lapse shooting, and if you're interested in this, check for that feature too. Otherwise, the accessory contact often allows this function via some external timer, so maybe your current camera can already be enabled for time-lapse photography? These things are not expensive, and the resuts can be quite interesting, day or night. There are also some good freeware photo-stacking programs to look up. Enjoy!
