misted lens plays with the lights

The Stars above the City by Maik Thomas (MaikThomas) on 500px.com
this is a short timelapse clip which i shot last year. goal was trying to shoot the milky way with city light conditions. the lens get misted over time, but it creates some cool light effects from the street lights. a misted lens is always a reason to start crying when you seriously try to shoot a proper night timelapse, but sometimes i like these “fail” results :-)

shot with:

Canon EOS 7D
Tokina 10-17mm
Kessler Crane Turntable + Oracle Controller

After Zero hour Photo Tour

i was out the last two nights in dresden on a photo tour to get some new startrail photos and looking for new spots. i also shot some more photos in the first night but here are only the startrails. as i mentioned in the headline of the post i was out after midnight because the city lights were dimmed. that´s important to get the lowest level of lightpollution to shoot startrails in a city.

shot with:
Canon EOS 7D
Tokina 11-16mm
Tokina 10-17mm
Coleman Lantern for some Fill Light
