Timelapse: Dark Nights of St. Agnes, Isles of Scilly

Screencap from 'Dark Nights II' by Graham Gaunt.

Photographer Graham Gaunt recently spent a week on the beautiful island of St. Agnes, Isle of Scilly during an unusual stretch of clear weather. “I spent every night awake dragging my gear out at dusk and returning to sleep at dawn,” Graham wrote on Vimeo. “No matter how much I thought I had planned out each shot the unraveling of the nights events always brought new and different surprises.”

Thanks to Graham for capturing and sharing his wonderful night views and experiences!
