St. Marks Lighthouse

Clouds in, tide out... When I checked cloud cover forecast on Monday morning, I thought that I might be able to beat the clouds and get a few shots of the stars over the St. Marks Lighthouse and use the setting full moon to light up the foreground. By the time the refuge gate opened and I made it down to the lighthouse, the clouds were already moving in. Instead of capturing what I had planned, I decided to try my hand at capturing a short time lapse. This is a series of about 100 still frames taken over the course of a little more than 30 minutes. It's a short video, but I like how you can see the tide falling to expose the mud flats!
