Yesterday was Nyepi here in Bali. The darkest night of the year in which no lighting of any kind is used until 6am.
You are punished with hefty fines by the local council police known as The Banjar if you are caught out of your home or using lights after dark. That's how seriously they take it.

So, this morning I got up at 3am and illuminating my way with a lighter I ventured only as far as my garden, to see if there were any clouds, for a potentially awesome star time-lapse, as there is also no moon at the moment. And wouldn't you know it, the night sky was perfect! So I set up my camera and left it rolling.
Hope you enjoy the results here. The film was shot using 25 second exposures at intervals of 30 seconds, on a Canon 5Dmkiii, with 24mm f1.4 lens ISO 2000. A little enhancement in After Effects and that's it!
