Great application of HDR and time lapse. Other worldly.


I assume the pun was not intended.

Actually the HDR is overdone for my taste. Definitely great images, but
spoiled by superbright foregrounds in some shots.
And I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Lake Eppalock is *nowhere near*
outback Australia. I'd love to see some done at Uluru. *That's* the outback!

And here I thought Outback was a low priced restaurant.

Looks good, but I wonder (if it's how he did it) about the effects of
running sensors for that long? With film, exposing for a couple hours
obviously was no big deal.

Time lapse + long exposure.

Page says:

"Lincoln Harrison, 37, combined hundreds of images of the foreground and the
night sky together to create the magnificent star-trail pictures."

So I'm guessing that he is (indeed) doing HDR, and (further) achieving
the effect of long exposure via stacking of shorter exposures.

This would have the advantage of allowing single "bad frames" to be
left out of the stack.

Confirmed (googly)

Foreground: 9 shot HDR, f4.5, ISO100.
Stars: 720 x 60 seconds (12 hours), f4.5 ISO800.

OK!

That makes these quite a bit more than HDR, or simple long exposure
time lapse. These are a hybrid 9 exposure HDR (for the foreground) and
time lapse/long (60 second)exposure (720) for the star field.

Regardless of technique it remains interesting & fascinating work.
