I thought about putting in general, but you photo geeks will probably be interested in the equipment etc ![]()

That was beautiful. Really makes you appreciate the importance of preserving these National Parks, in any country.
Nice video. I know a lot was time lapse, but notice how slow the camera panned/ zoomed. Now there is a movie on almost every camera, it is worth remembering to pan at least twice as slow as you think you should pan, or people will get giddy watching the resulting movie.
How do they move the camera like that in a time lapse?

I'm guessing they used a motorised equatorial or normal mount. Some of it was normal time.
Were the things shooting across the sky, meteors, planes or satellites, or maybe all three?
Mostly planes (you can tell by the duration and path), probably the odd meteor though.
But I doubt considering the exposure lengths that meteors would be anything other than a flash of a line, certainly not a visible moving streak as they travel too fast.
Satellites are actually very faint in general, iridium flares aside.

I captured a meteor once on my little still camera on movie mode. It was about 6 years ago & I was on the Sandbanks ferry filming the inner harbour in the afternoon when a streak shot from the sky to earth. I don't remember seeing it until I was looking at the movie later on.
Great video, thanks. ![]()
We really do live on an incredibly beautiful thing don't we? Shame there often seems so many intent on ruining it. ![]()
