At the end of a full on but very enjoyable day yesterday I went to Wheal Owles at Botallack with Bob Sharples to catch the sunset and clear night skies over the classic coastal mine engine house.
We arrived in time to catch the sun dipping to the horizon which turned the engine house and coast line into a dramatic silhouette.
We then spent some time setting up the engine house stack to line through with the pole star and as darkness fell we played around with various forms of internal lighting to highlight the entrance and windows.
With cameras and lighting set up we then settled down to complete 180 x 30sec exposures to create a stacked star trail in post production later.
As we were leaving around midnight the crescent moon was dropping in the sky behind the mine with Wheal Edward adding its presence in the background to complete the scene.
