Details:
We introduce a new category of astro images: nightscapes accompanied by natural sounds of the night, recorded during the imaging session. The sound of ocean waves, crickets chirping, nocturnal birds and many other nighttime sounds bring the pictures alive.
A compilation of such audio pictures can be found at the website of project nightflight at http://www.project-nightflight.net/sounds.html
If you watch the audio pictures, you will most likely notice a much stronger effect than traditional astrophotos cause. This happens because the audio pictures reach two channels of human perception. The visual channel is backed up by sounds, which easily triggers memories from first-hand experiences. Imagination then completes the illusion and the picture becomes the current reality. You suddenly feel like being outdoors under the night sky.
The audio pictures were imaged and recorded during 2013 and 2014 on the Canary island La Palma and along the Grossmugl Star Walk in Austria. We used standard photographic equipment for imaging and a voice recorder with a stereo microphone for capturing the audios. Digital processing techniques were implemented to give both the images and the sounds the final brilliance.
