    Excellent work Colin! What shutter speed and filter did you use for the timelapse photos? ...g

    Brilliant work mate.. I headed out last night and got nothing because of all the cloud! Glad you got something!
  • Colin Legg plus 2 months ago
    Thanks Paul. Just checked your site...I think we've been working on the same project for 2 years!

    I'm trying to ramp things up this year coming.. would be interested in either collaborating or heading out with another photographer.. I've got a few exceptional locations in mind.. I want to show case Western Australia and the night skies :)
  • Colin Legg plus 2 months ago
    Yeah, we should catch up. I have a bunch of stuff and was about to edit up a piece along the same lines. The Asylum Satellite clip is my earlier effort.
