Eppalock Startrails
I’m delighted to feature Flickr-find Australian photographer Lincoln Harrison (also known as Harry).
I’m a huge fan of long-shutter exposure photography. With a certain magic to be found in capturing a single moment on film (or SD card) there’s something even more magical about seeing the result of a series of moments that lay still. There’s movement in seemingly immobile moments.
While my futile experiments often incorporate 50 second -or even, wait for it, 200 second-exposures on Bulb mode, my childish grin of satisfaction is soon eclipsed by photographs such as Lincoln’s. Forget seconds – some of the images in his Startrails set took over 12 hours worth of shots to complete:
Dawn Startrails
Dead Tree Stars
Eppalock Startrails #2
NightShift
Ravenswood Rockstars
Thanks for sharing your work, Lincoln. Do check out his Flickr page here.
Very cool!
Brilliant. I love that he achieves this through “traditional” photography methods not through post-processing. Seems that photography is dividing into traditional and graphic-oriented techniques more and more. These gives me such pleasure to look at.
These are stunning!!!
I’m even more thrilled by the awesome colours than the captured movements.
Very Nice. They seem to me out of the world.
Thanks for introducing us to these beautiful photographs. I’ve found several impressive Australian nature photographers recently. I imagine we don’t hear more about them because Australia is so remote and has such a small population for such a large land.
