Mt Buffalo

[CapturingTheNight]

Hello all,

It is no secret that one of my favorite places to go and image the night sky from is Mt Buffalo in Victoria. I have put together a short movie of some of the timelapse sequences I have gathered up there over the past few years. I hope you enjoy.

Tech details:
Sequences shot with either a Canon 6D or 5D MkII and Samyang 14mm, 24mm or Canon 50mm lenses. Motion in some sequences done with a Vixen Polarie or a homemade dolly/slider. Edited and put together using LR, LRTimelapse, AE and Movie Studio Platinum.

Cheers

Greg

[CapturingTheNight]

Thank you so much gents :D



That was the moon rising, not the sun, but thanks anyway Rod. It was one of the few times I have been glad of some cloud coming in as it was very cold that night and I was looking for an excuse to finish up.

Particularly liked the Aurora. Beautiful compilation.

Hey Greg, thats a great video! Best part for me was the bit where the LMC & SMC appear from behind the rock.

Encouraging also in that I actually have quite a bit of raw material myself but just can't be bothered putting it together - too much other stuff to do. This helps a lot!

[AstroJason]

Wow Greg, that was fantastic. That homemade dolly/slider must be pretty good, sequences with it were brilliant. Real top work Greg.

[Carl]

Brilliant as usual Greg

Cheers Carl

Thank you so much for the great feedback everyone. Already got plans for the next video.



Its pretty dodgy, but it works. Picture a clock drive, reeling in a bit of fishing line, attached to a little skateboard and that will give you a bit of an idea of what I put together. It is not the smoothest motion straight out of the camera but a little bit of post work fixes it up nicely.

Beautiful work Greg. Really enjoyed the video. Brings back many memories of Mt Buffalo. Thank you.

[CapturingTheNight]

Thank you so much for the great feedback Greg :D Working on something even better (hopefully) at the moment.

Really really enjoyed!
Specially that last one, watching the fog come and go before daybreak. Agree they're totally mesmerising.

[CapturingTheNight]

Thank you so much Rob :D That fog sequence was a bit of a fluke. I set the camera up in the fog with a heap of lens warmers on it but not expecting them to last long in preventing the lens from dewing up and went to sleep in my car. Woke up just as it was getting light to do the transitions into daylight and to my surprise the lens was completely clear. Got to love "Little Hotties"
