Maybe we don&#39;t have enough time, or dark enough skies, or maybe we just don&#39;t know what to look for. A camera picks up more light than the human eye so things that you can barely see appear bright and colorful in pictures. The motion that timelapse reveals adds another dimension. George will share his amazing photos of the Milky Way, Auroras, the Zodiacal light and more, even some things that you may have not heard of. He will discuss a few low light photography techniques, but this is not a boring tutorial. While we do hope you&rsquo;ll learn, we hope even more that you&rsquo;ll be inspired to try timelapse photography yourself.<p fr-original-style='margin-bottom: 0in;color: #000000;text-align: left;background: transparent;font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;font-size:16px;' style='margin-bottom: 0in;color: #000000;text-align: left;background: transparent;font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;font-size:16px;'> <p fr-original-style='margin-bottom: 0in;color: #000000;text-align: left;background: transparent;font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;font-size:16px;' style='margin-bottom: 0in;color: #000000;text-align: left;background: transparent;font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;font-size:16px;'>George Preoteasa is an amateur photographer who loves the sky. He started his career as a scientist in the field of atmospheric physics, and worked briefly in meteorology, but out of necessity switched to information technology when he came to the U.S. in 1980.&nbsp;As he says: &ldquo;The first is a profession where you observe things many miles away. The latter is one where you look at a screen 18 inches away. Going outside to look at and photograph things in the sky provided the necessary counterbalance.&rdquo; George was first interested in photographing clouds but, after seeing pictures of the night sky, he became fascinated by it. He started taking timelapse photos with his iPhone, began photographing the night sky in 2019 and soon after began making short timelapse movies. George is now traveling and spending his free time almost exclusively photographing the sky. He is a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society, the Amateur Astronomers Association, and several other amateur astronomy clubs, and has lectured for the Westchester Photographic Society.<p fr-original-style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0);text-align: justify;background: transparent;font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;font-size:16px;margin-bottom: 0in;' style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0);text-align: justify;background: transparent;font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;font-size:16px;margin-bottom: 0in;'> <p fr-original-style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0);text-align: justify;background: transparent;font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;font-size:16px;margin-bottom: 0in;' style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0);text-align: justify;background: transparent;font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;font-size:16px;margin-bottom: 0in;'>Hamptons Observatory thanks George for taking the time to share his expertise, as well as Stan Honda and the Amateur Astronomers Association for their kind collaboration.
