Peter,
So did you have the camera set to automatically take a shot each frame or did you have to manually release the shutter.
About how long in-between each shot, a minute, an hour or several hours? I just can't imagine doing this over a several month period. How did you handle the battery in the camera, didn't you have to change it over a month period? |

Hello Larry,
Thank you for your input and thoughts. You had mentioned camera angle. If you notice at the beginning of the video I was flying low to the water, probably 10 feet off the water then I went up to over tree level. When I was flying near the Kayakers, I didn't want to get too low, it could be dangerous and you never know what could happen. When I'm flying the drone, I am first concentrating on my flying and on photography second or not at all. The FAA rules for flying are that you can not exceed 400 feet and you must stay a safe distance from people, so I was cutting it close with the Kayakers.
Looking at the video again, I agree the few seconds of the parking lot could have been cut, but in the very beginning of that scene, you can see me standing there with the remote control. I wanted to leave my cameo in the video.
We don't have any formal requirements for the length of the videos, but it is suggested that we try to keep them to about 5 minutes.
I'm glad you enjoyed our group, please visit again and spread the word.
Dick

By the way, I watched the two videos that Larry Treadwell suggested, and found them very interesting. Not sure that the techniques talked about in those videos would be anything that we would want to try, but it is worth watching. Maybe it will give us some ideas.

Hello Kamal,
I enjoyed your video very much. It looked like you had a fun that night watching the Laser light show and the dancing waters.
Technically I thought the video would have been better if you had a tripod, but I realize that is not always possible. I noticed that the video was moving up and down, almost as if you were on a dock or a boat that was moving in the water. In that case a tripod wouldn't help, you would have needed a gimbal. The ISO worked well with the black of the night and the dancing waters and lights. I wish you would have zoomed in on the dancing waters for a short portion of the video, I think that would have added interest.
I thought it was a well done video.

Larry Treadwell wrote the following on my video and asked that I share it with the group:
I just stumbled upon this group and I'm fascinated. I would like to offer a few observations if I may. I would ask that you this preamble with the other group members so I don't haveto type it over and over for each video. Thanks.
This may well end up being a long comment but I want you to understand my point of view before I begin.
I consider myself to be a hardworking nature and wildlife photographer. I spend a great deal of time researching my subjects before I venture into the field. Recently while on a shoot I was approached by a videographer who asked if he could photograph me at work. Over the course of the day he worked much harder than I did. He was relentless in his efforts, when I took a break he was still gathering clips. He wired me for sound, forced untrained me to think out loud and led me with questions. Since then he has made two videos of me at work. I have the utmost appreciation for him and his craft. I think the video required much more work than me captured that one special shot. Video required that one shot and so much more.

Peter,
I thought that your video was an amazing capture of time laps photography, in addition the animated scenes added a fun whimsical effect that captured my interest and imagination.
I haven't been able to figure out how you created some of the effects. Since this was shot in a home closet, the green house and the background flowers had to have been added in post, but I don't know how it was done. Was this something that your post software does or do you have some other magic that you can share with the group.
This whole video had to have taken months to capture. It's amazing that you could keep the lighting consistent throughout the video.
I want to try my hand at time laps, but just haven't got around to it. I doubt if I could master the skill as well as you and Rajani.
Well Done, My Friend
Dick

Fion, what a beautiful video!! This just proves that being in the right place at the right time is so important in photography. That baby bear is so cute. I've been telling my family and friends that they have to see your video, and I've been directing them to it. Everyone has been so amazed and love it!
I noticed that from 1:12 to 1:25, the video was slightly out of focus and I think that part could have been cut out without loosing any impact in the overall video.
In the beginning of the video when you were showing the still shots, I wasn't sure what I was looking at. It would have helped if you would have added some text to tell what we were seeing and why it was important to the video.
Over all, an amaizing video!! WELL DONE!!
Dick
