This has has not been processed, this is straight from the camera. I still have to color correct it. Milky Way Time lapse over Lake Tahoe on 9/4/2010. Shot with a Canon 5d Mkii, Sigma 24mm f1.8, Opteka Battery grip to hold two battery's so I can get 9 hours of run time, Canon intervelometer, and a tripod. Shot 30 sec exposures at f1.8 every 35 seconds.

    Hey,
    very well captured.
    I tried to get milky way capture so hard, but it never worked.
    Do you have some tips?
    And can you please tell me your ISO?

    Nice. But why are all the stars moving up and down a few pixels the entire lapse?

    Looking at it one more time I see that the lens is distorted on the entire left to past Center portion and ok on the right side. The stars stop movin up and down on the far right side of the shot. Might be a lens problem
  • Justin Majeczky 1 year ago
    Its probably because i took the whole frame and scrunched it down to 1080. I havn't done any post work to it yet like cropping etc.

    Really nice time-lapse of the stars. I definitely dig it! How did you achieve sharpness in the foreground and the background at 1.8? Keep up the great work.
  • Justin Majeczky 1 year ago
    Infinity focus on the lens

    nice work. I like the combination of great stars and some traffic - - something you rarely see combined.

    How long did you record the time lapse and what was your shutter and other camera settings to achieve this.

    ps: Is this possible to achieve every night or only certain days of the year?
  • Justin Majeczky 1 year ago
    Read my description. And im not sure about the time of year thing. I dont think the stars galaxy disappears in the fall etc..

    Amazing Time Lapse. Was this from Mt. Rose (North Shore)? Very low noise image, just awesome!

  • Jon Claerbout 1 year ago
    Something in the upper left looks like an eliptical galaxy, but as the movie progresses, it looks more like a point. What is it?

    Beautiful! you should add music

  • Josh Playle 1 year ago
    amazing! extremely impressive, so much so that I have been inspired to try one myself, did you have to sit up all night doing the exposure every 35 seconds? or does your camera have a setting to do it?
