STARGAZER - a photo on Flickriver

STARGAZER

            This Ten second long exposure was taken at an altitude of Forty one metres,  in the magic of Twilight, prior to Sunrise which was at precisely 04:47am,  at  02:01am on Thursday 3rd July 2014 off Lullingstone Lane next to the Lullingstone Roman Villa and overlooking  the field adjacent to Eynsford Viaduct in the village of Eynsford, Kent, England.

I love to shoot in the Twilight hours, prior to sunrise, when the ambient light is such that the human eye can scarcely decipher the detail and hues all around, and second by second the landscape is changing. It's a challenge to capture as a missed frame can never be repeated, the sky altering as the darkness leaves.
