Taken on a Pu’u (Hill) near the Mauna Kea Visitor Center where my dad and I volunteer. No one really understood what I was thinking when I hiked this hourglass up there, not even sure if I knew. This shot was the first and only try that night.
This has actually been in my scraps for quite awhile. I was not 100% happy with it, so I figured I could try and re shoot it. Sometimes you don't know how much happy you are with what you have until you try to re shoot.

Not happy with it? I think it's beautiful! I find three expressions of time in one photograph without using three clocks. It's excellent. My question is, how did you do it? You should be very proud of it

He he thanks, It took me awhile but I am happy with it now.
This was a complicated shot to take, i'm not sure were to begin. Allot is told in the technical details in the description. This was taken when there was no moon to give the most stars; it also was shot toward the southeast to give strong star trails. I’m not sure how many people have noticed but the hourglass was running throughout the entire exposure giving it a kind of gost look. I shined a little LED at the hourglass for 2 seconds to even it out with the sky. The mountain you see in the back is Mauna Loa surrounded with clouds that move during the exposure giving it another gost look. You also can see a car trail from cars on Saddle Road.
As I said it’s a complicated shot, and I could go on.
This is so amazing because I know there is so much behind the picture...the trails are wonderful and the mountian and the clouds are a perfect background to go with the sky..
This is pretty sweet. I like the blur of the stars and the smooth look of the clouds/water in the background. I would like to see the star's trails a little more defined however. Perhaps a smaller apeture? But then you would run into the problem of lighting the scene, so perhaps use a small flashlight to light the hourglass?
Im just throwing ideas out there for you to think of if you ever try a shot like this again. But over all this is an amazingly creative shot and certainly deserves a

We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".
The butter legion- a socialist movement/mass colab project I started, to trigger artistic change and evolution in Da artists (mainly my watchers), to make them more active and dedicated on DA. Now 170 people strong and growing... A "dangerous cult"? a "new religion"? "artistic version of fight club" or "communist movement"? You decide!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant.

It turned out nice, especially with the noise.
