TimeLapse & Co.

Plains Milky Way


Nel bel mezzo del Sud Dakota c'è una figura che si aggira di notte per la campagna. Armata della sua macchina fotografica, l'ombra notturna spara alle stelle. E la sua strada, così tracciata, diventa questo video da vedere assolutamente, meglio se a schermo intero.

Dopo il video, la descrizione dell'autore, Randy Halverson.

During the month of May, I shot Milky Way timelapse in central South Dakota, when I had the time, and the weather cooperated. The biggest challenge was cloudy nights and the wind. There were very few nights, when I could shoot, that were perfectly clear, and often the wind was blowing 25mph +. That made it hard to get the shots I wanted. I kept most of the shots low to the ground, so the wind wouldn't catch the setup and cause camera shake, or blow it over. I used a Stage Zero Dolly on the dolly shots and a "Milapse" mount on the panning ones. 
This was all shot at night. If you see stars and it looks like daylight, it is actually moon light. 20+ second exposures make it look like daylight.

Shot in RAW format, the Milky Way shots were 30 seconds exposure F2.8 or F1.8 with 2 second interval between shots, for 3-4 hours run time. ISO 1600
Ten seconds of the video is about 2 hours 20 minutes in real time.

Manhattan in motion



C'è un'isola dove le luci non si spengono mai, dove si vive in una dimensione diversa dal resto del mondo, dove il Sogno sembra divenuto Realtà.
Non è un caso se chi ci abita reputa quell'isola il mondo "vero" e non vuol quasi sapere nulla di ciò che c'è fuori.
Manhattan non è l'Isola che non c'è, il suo Sogno può essere un'illusione, ma il mondo non smetterà mai di puntarci lo sguardo e ammirarla.

Come fa in questo timelapse Josh Owens, puntando sull'Isola il suo sguardo, la macchina fotografica, e sparando.

Chiemgau impressions


Mario Feil è un fotografo/filmmaker tedesco [cliccando sul nome trovate il suo sito, qui la sua pagina Vimeo].


Passeggiando per il sud della Baviera, la sua macchina fotografica si è trovata a Chiemgau, luogo che ha sentito di dover ritrarre con questo timelapse. Lavoro notevole davvero.

Arctic Light 

Dopo L'Aurora e La montagna è tornato Terje Sorgjerd, il mago che applica il timelapse alle meraviglie della natura.

E ogni volta crea un'opera più incredibile delle precedenti.

Questo è il racconto di come si è trovato con le sue macchine fotografiche nell'arcipelago norvegese di Lofoten per raccogliere quella che ha chiamato Luce Artica, un fenomeno che va in scena nei cieli dell'Artico tra le 2 e le 4 settimane prima che appaia il sole di mezzanotte.

È come se il giorno e la notte si fondessero e danzassero abbracciati.
Ma basta parole, spazio alle immagini di Arctic Light [dopo il video trovate la descrizione che ne dà Terje]


This was filmed between 29th April and 10th May 2011 in the Arctic, on
the archipelago Lofoten in Norway.

My favorite natural phenomenon is one I do not even know the name of, even after talking to meteorologists and astrophysicists I am none the wiser.What I am talking about I have decided to call The Arctic Light and it is a natural phenomenon occurring 2-4 weeks before you can see the Midnight Sun.

The Sunset and Sunrise are connected in one magnificent show of color and light lasting from 8 to 12 hours. The sun is barely going below the horizon before coming up again. This is the most colorful light that I know, and the main reason I have been going up there for the last 4 years, at the exact
same time of year, to photograph. Based on previous experience, I knew this was going to be a very
difficult trip. Having lost a couple of cameras and some other equipment up there before, it was crucial to bring an extra set of everything. I also
made sure I had plenty of time in case something went wrong.
If you can imagine roping down mountain cliffs, or jumping around on slippery rocks covered in seaweed with 2 tripods, a rail, a controller,
camera, lenses, filters and rigging for 4-5 hour long sequences at a time, and then
having to calculate the rise and fall of the tides in order to capture the essence - it all prved bit of a challenge.

And almost as if planned, the trip would turn out to become very
difficult indeed. I had numerous setbacks including: airline lost my
luggage, struggling to swim ashore after falling into the Arctic sea: twice, breaking lenses, filters, tripod, computer, losing the whole dolly rig and controller into the sea, and even falling off a rather tall rock and ending
up in the hospital. As much as I wanted to give up, the best way Out is
always “Through”. I am glad I stuck it through though because there were some amazing sunrises waiting. At 1:06 you see a single scene from day to night to day.

I asked the very talented Marika Takeuchi to specifically compose and
perform a song for this movie, and what she came up with is absolutely remarkable. Thank you very much Marika!

VLT

Quest'opera è stata creata sotto il cielo che sovrasta l’Osservatorio del Paranal sul Cerro Paranal, una montagna alta 2.635 metri nel deserto di Atacama (Cile). Lo strumento principe dell'osservatorio è il VLT che, alla faccia di tutti i nomi strolicati che si inventano per le faccende scientifiche, è semplicemente l'acronimo di Very Large Telescope!


Il video è spettacolare e la danza dei quattro telescopi che compongono il VLT è quasi commovente, in quel teatro...

Floating Chicago


Questo video, come spiega la descrizione dell'autore Craig Shimala – subito sotto – è un collage di timelapse "sparati" allo skyline di Chicago e poi riflessi in orizzontale, specchiati.
L'effetto non è niente male. Proviamolo.



Through the past couple years I've shot a decent amount of time-lapses of the Chicago skyline. I figured why not take all of those and throw the same mirror filter that was warmly welcomed by a lot of people on this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cshimala/5275838854/
I'm still scratching my head on how long it took me to attend to that dirt spot on my window that shows up too often.

The mountain

Abbiamo già parlato qui di Terje Sorgjerd [clic sul nome per la sua pagina ufficiale su facebook], un mago del Timelapse.

Ma quest'ultima opera è qualcosa di incredibile. Godetevelo a schermo intero, lascia senza fiato...
La musica, concessa dall'autore per questo video, è Nuvole Bianche di Ludovico Einaudi.



Questa è la presentazione del video sulla pagina Vimeo:
This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide.
Spain´s highest mountain @(3715m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories. 

The goal was to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy along with one of the most amazing mountains I know El Teide. I have to say this was one of the most exhausting trips I have done. There was a lot of hiking at high altitudes and probably less than 10 hours of sleep in total for the whole week. Having been here 10-11 times before I had a long list of must-see locations I wanted to capture for this movie, but I am still not 100% used to carrying around so much gear required for time-lapse movies.

A large sandstorm hit the Sahara Desert on the 9th April (bit.ly/​g3tsDW) and at approx 3am in the night the sandstorm hit me, making it nearly impossible to see the sky with my own eyes.

Interestingly enough my camera was set for a 5 hour sequence of the milky way during this time and I was sure my whole scene was ruined. To my surprise, my camera had managed to capture the sandstorm which was backlit by Grand Canary Island making it look like golden clouds. The Milky Way was shining through the clouds, making the stars sparkle in an interesting way. So if you ever wondered how the Milky Way would look through a Sahara sandstorm, look at 00:32.

The Aurora


The Aurora from Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo.

Questo lavoro è stato realizzato da Terje Sorgjerd che ha lavorato con un dolly vicino al Kirkenes and Pas National Park vicino al confine con la Russia con temperature che erano di circa -25°C. Una settimana in condizioni non certo semplici per immortalare una delle più belle aurore boreali degli ultimi anni.
Per la realizzazione è stata utilizzata una Canon 5D mark II con il seguente corredo di obiettivi: Canon 16-35mm f/2.8II, Canon 24mm f/1.4 II, Canon 85mm f/1.2, Sigma 12-24mm.
