Arabian Nights in the Arabian Sea

Sea Shanty

My first attempt at shooting Star trails. Due to ship’s movement in water, the trails aren’t as steady as one would see from results shot on land.

Aurora borealis (Northern lights)

23 years at sea and I finally get to see the majestic Aurora borealis (Northern lights) in Barents Sea. Trust me, this video doesn’t really do justice to the real experience.

This time-lapse was shot on the night of 11th Sept 2018 off Norwegian north coast. I have used a GoPro Session 5 camera to shoot the image sequence, which was used in making this video.
