Star trails at Folly Beach (take 2)
Entrance- lighthouse inlet heritage preserve (map)
Let's try this again. Maybe the weather will be more cooperative this weekend.
If anybody is interested in trying their hand at doing long exposure star trails, come join me out on Folly Beach at the Lighthouse Inlet area. The northern sky is pretty wide open and hopefully the city lights won't obscure things too much. I'll do my best to pass on what I've learned.
It should be dark enough by around 6:30 and the area closes at 8 so there's a short window. We can head down to the Washout area after to continue if anybody is interested.
Obviously this will be dependent on the weather, so hopefully the skies will be nice and clear.
Things to bring: fully charged batteries, tripod, remote shutter release thingy, warm jacket, gloves/mitts, warm beverages, snacks, chair, small flashlight, lens that can focus at infinity
For those of you wondering how to get there, go down to Folly Beach and turn left at the light. Go all the way to the end.

I learned last night, when I arrived after everyone else left that:
1. It is almost impossible to see there at night without a flash light.
2. Really solid shoes are necessary for 'hiking' along the sand dunes.
Without these two things, the chances of getting hurt will increase, I'm afraid.
I can drive about three other people in my car from Belle Hall/Seacoast Church in Mt. Pleasant if it will shorten your drive. -- Please let me know if you want to carpool.
