I'm guessing that he isn't using daylight but rather either moonlight(when available) or another very low power light source. The long exposure times for the star trails mean that foreground objects can appear very bright. Sort of the opposite of why stars are absent in photos from the moon. The moon is so bright that the exposure times are too short to capture enough starlight.

So how does he get the stars to light up in bright daylight??
Or is this some sort of rotoscoping thingy???

Stunning. The only thing that detracts a little is the music.


I agree. It almost looks as if it could be as good as Koyaanisqatsi (trailer), only the music really doesn't fit. If only this video could have music composed by Philip Glass.

Awe-inspiring!

Little question from a nature-noob: anyone know the name of those upside-down canyon-like clouds (1:05 and especially 1:50)?
