Video: Mesmerising timelapse captures Milky Way above Britain The 41-year-old photographer focused on landmarks, cliffs and castles in Caithness, Scotland, to ground the image, while a wild night sky races overhead. It took Mr Winiarczyk, who is from Caithness, Scotland, almost two years to collect the footage for the time-lapse video, while the final process of assembling the finished product took just three days. He said: "By using a short movie to show the auroras, rather than just the individual images, people are mesmerized and it greatly helps to show them the true beauty of the night. Also, as for Milky Way and star fields shots, this shows what are our eyes can't clearly see in human time resolution, movement and mechanics of the sky, making people realise they are passengers of a natural spaceship moving through the vast space of cosmos. While the majority of the shots were taken in the Sinclair's Bay area of Caithness, other locations included 4000 year-old tombs near Camster, Loch More and Newton Forest, also in Scotland. Four sequences were also captured in Iceland, at Pingvallavatn Lake - the largest in the country, and Jokulsarlon Floating Icebergs Lagoon, which was formed by the receding Vatnajokull glacier, one of the largest in Europe. The Polish-born photographer added: "I am aware that many locals have never seen aurora despite the fact that they are most frequent in this part of mainland Britain. "My aim was to get them interested and out of their comfy houses after dark to see the natural spectacle of aurora."The main theme of the video is to show the beauty of the night sky and remind people what they are missing by staying at home and watching TV.
