From Vimeo: This series of astro-photography / night lapse shorts was taken throughout the year and during our short and mostly wet and cloudy British summer.

I have been trying with some luck & effort to capture a glimpse of the milky way from here in the South West of Cornwall UK.

Its difficult to describe what goes into making these short clips, not so much the technical but the other stuff; wandering out into the darkest nights hanging around waiting, watching the sky, the shadows, shooting stars, hundreds of strange noises which you would never notice in the day. sea birds, wind in the grass and wires, hypersensitivity takes over.

In the dead of night if you lie on the ground during the making of a time-lapse, staring at the stars, it seems like time has no meaning at all, hours could have passed, tho’ usually not, the camera keeps going or runs out of power or fogs over with condensation, or some other thing you hadn't noticed, or clouds roll in.

What becomes evermore apparent after spending nights (out-there) is the incredible continuity and simple beauty of time passing as you try to take in the night sky and its moments.
