Approximately seven hours of night over the Chao Phraya river in downtown Bangkok, Thailand.


This is a composite of 2141 frames from March 16, 2013 and 613 from March 22, 2013 from the balcony of the Chatrium Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. The full frame Canon 5D Mark III raw files were shot for a short time-lapse sequence, but this is the artistic blending of several thousand in the sky and less than 100 for the river (otherwise the river would be white with boat traffic). Images were from a 17mm TS-E, shifted down only, , ISO 100-320, 9 seconds each.
