Night Time Photography Begins
Night Time Photography Begins, I am looking forward to an exciting year of photographing the night skies. I started over the weekend. April begins the warmer evenings and clearer skies to get out enjoy. Also, starting on the 16th of April, the annual Lyrid meteor shower began.
Each year that meteor shower kicks off when the Earth travels through what remains of the tail of the comet called Thatcher. The Thatcher comet only comes around once every 400 years, but it’s left the solar system strewn with debris from its tail. When that debris hits the earth’s atmosphere, we see streaks of light in the sky called shooting stars. April 22nd should be the peak of the meteor shower.
These photos were taken with a Go Pro 7 camera, I set it to night lapse starting about 9 pm and picked up the camera at 2 am. The stars are all moving from left to right in the photo, and you can see lines going the opposite way which are shooting stars. This photo below is a combination of 100 photos stacked on top each other so you can see how the stars move across the sky where I am standing. The bright light is the moon.
This photo below is a combination of 72 photos stacked on top each other from midnight to about 2 am. If you notice there are streaks of purple and pink in the midst of stars. They are different colors when you get a good photo of them.

Thank you very much 😊
If I wasn’t in NYC I would try photographing the night sky. Nice work.
Thank you Sherry, I bet there is a lot of light noise around you. That would be hard. 😊
try to find a calm lake and use the surface as a mirror to reflect the star tracks. It might be a interesting shot?
That is a great idea, thank you Wayne.
and If your up to it you can try some “light painting” too. Take a powerful flashlight for that. You can paint the surrounding shore line.
Good luck!
Yes, that is on my list to try next. 🙂
Lovely to see the tracks of the stars. <3
Thank you very much 🙂

Really good photos, Sandra. I always miss meteor showers myself, so I look forward to seeing more of your photos!
Thank you Tom, hopefully I will get some clearer shots the next couple of nights. I appreciate that also. 🙂
Your photos show what Van Gogh missed.
Thank you Don, I do not know much about Van Gogh, I looked it up and the first thing was a painting called the Starry Night, with a mix of blues and yellow.
So happy to have introduced you to Vincent. I spent 2 years off and on touring with Leonard Nimoy in his one man show VINCENT. I learned to find so much in both the art and the life of Van Gogh.
How fascinating Don, that must have been exciting. I have been to an art museum once. Lots of amazing work and a few pieces I wasn’t sure what they were, except people using their imaginations. I do understand that. 😊
Awesome 🌷👍🏻
Thank you 🙂
🌷🙏🌷
Oooh, pretty 🙂
