timelapse goals

Earlier this year, "goals" was a frequent social media comment.

"You two are relationship goals"

"Body goals"

...the list goes on.

Now, there have been some phrases popular in social media and popular culture that I don't get:
life "hacks", on "fleek", "bless"; but "goals"...that one I can get behind.

I set a goal for myself three years ago to make a timelapse video of night scenes.  This goal hasn't really come to fruition yet. I've made some short clips, but because timelapses at night take time, and sleep, away from me, I haven't made great strides on this project.

So, this year, I would like to change that.

With summer comes shorter nights, but it also is prime time to see the brightest part of the Milky Way.  It is beginning to rise earlier in the evening (currently, I believe it rises around midnight).  Being obsessed with the Milky Way, I have opportunity knocking at my door!

There may be some sleep-deprived days, but hopefully it will be worth it!

Until then, I would like to share a short clip of some previous timelapse work:

It's a little rough, but it's a start!
