Startrails photography video | How it was done

Personal project
Alejandro Pérez: Photography, video editing, subtitles

Startrail photography assembly of 400 photos using StarStax. The video is a screenrecording while Startax was blending the images in lighten mode (with and without comet-like mode). I have separated the image in two:

  1. The startrail
  2. The motorway and buildings.

I would have obtained an overexposed result of the motorway if I had used all pictures to blend the motorway and the buildings (as I used it to blend the startrails). That’s why I only used 15-20 significant pictures (I chose the ones with the best car light trails) to compose the lower part of the image. Then using a video editing software (like Premiere Pro) to assemble the two parts of the picture and to reverse the shots.

Gear: Canon ESO 5D Mark III + EF 16-35 f/2.8 + Tripod + automated remote control
Software: Starstax, Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro.

Sion Airshow 2011

The Breitling Sion Air show was in 2011 the largest Switzerland airshow. For this venue we decided to take pictures from a hill near the airport. We weren’t lucky with the weather. The show even stopped at one point.

Paléo Festival 2012

Paleo Festival

The Paléo Festival is the largest music festival in Switzerland and it takes place in Nyon near lake Geneva. It’s a solid mix of music from all genres, good food from all the world, visual and plastic arts. Unlike other festivals, you can take your camera which is unique and very clever from the organisers. I even took my tripod this year. Enough writing, here are the pics..
