Paddys River Falls, Australia. 12/04/2014
When the moon is reasonably full I tend to do star trails / timelapse more often than not, and this is a location I have been wanting to do one at for a while now. The plan was to start the sequence with the valley still in deep shadow and then as the moon rose higher it would reveal the falls more and more. All was going well with the star trail side of things until some cloud started to move through which was still fine for the timelapse sequence, but with the cloud came a wind change and the spray from the falls was suddenly blowing back onto the camera. So that ended the session entirely.
Canon 5D MkII, 14mm, F/2.8, ISO 800, 200 x 20 seconds exposures. About a 90% Moon illuminated Moon is lighting up the landscape. The cliff face and foreground to the left of the falls was light painted with a torch during one of the exposures.
Images stacked together in StarStax.

Despite natures attempt to thwart your efforts they were most definitely worthwhile. Fine shot.
