Cloud-Porn in the Little Karoo - a photo on Flickriver

            For the past couple of months now… every time I’ve spent another weekend on my farm in the Little Karoo… I’ve been hoping for the right conditions to capture another star-trail Vertorama! I’ve got the whole thing completely worked out in my head already… all I need now is a moonless and cloudless night. 

But of course… when your name is Paul Bruins… then the more you need something… the less chance you have of getting it!! :)

So when I looked up at the sky on Saturday afternoon and saw the clouds arriving… I decided to play a trick on my bad karma. I decided that I would definitely shoot a star-trail if the clouds disappeared… but if they stuck around… then I would definitely shoot the images for another time lapse video! Either way I had a good plan up my sleeve… no matter what conditions the weather-gods decided to throw at me… I was going to shoot something… come hell or high water!

Fortunately the weather-gods threw out the most amazing cloudy sunset that I’d seen in quite a while… I was a happy man!! :)

Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20 at 10mm, an aperture of f14 and a 1/60th second exposure.
