Not sure if this has appeared here before. I shot some footage for a dome film - Ancient Skies (http://www.ancientskies.info/) - in late August 2010 and it was edited into a short timelapse piece. It was my first experience shooting 8mm fish eye and being a newbie I forgot to take off the lens hood on some of the shots...reducing the field of view somewhat :ashamed:

Most of the shots are from Lake Ballard...my first trip there and was fortunate to find water on the lake.

The processing is a bit muddy and low contrast sorry, not my doing.. :(

ps. best played with the volume up.

I had to remind myself to breath during that Colin. Fantastic work.:thumbsup: That last scene in particular with the clouds rolling through left me gasping for more.
Cheers

Magnificent views. Was thoroughly transfixed for the whole video. Time for duelling timelapses between Colin and Alex?

[Larryp]

That's magnificent, Colin! And the music is so appropriate.

Thanks Greg. That last scene was a windless night with ocean behind the dunes. I think the're the slowest moving cumulus clouds I've ever captured - 20 s frame intervals. That scene also marked the first time I'd captured a persistant meteor train and moonbow. There in there if you look closely.



Haha H. That's what I should have been doing to the all mighty after screwing the 8mm shots. Fortunately they were accepted...I hear it's a common stuff up with the Sigma.



Thanks Andy. Alex's video did remind me of this one with the setting Milky Way shots, so I thought I'd put it up. I think the're taken from similar latitudes.



Thanks Larry.

Magnificent indeed! I can see that it was shot by you despite the processing. The ramping into starry sky without foreground looks very cool.
