Wow, that was intense.
Where are you located???
What was the frame rate?

 

[Jesse Rosten]

Off the top of my head I think the frame rate was around 5-6fps. The clouds were moving quite fast so I went with a faster frame rate. I shot this using the varispeed mode. Not timelapse mode.

Judging by the birds' speed i guess it should be around 1fps...

EDIT: Ah! not even close!

 

[MikeHedge]

wow!!! was there any problem with the blown out spot in the middle ? sensoor protect thing?

 

[jbeale]

Looks great! That would be a good opening shot for your next epic film.

Jesse Wow..Wow amazing fade out to brightness

 

[Jesse Rosten]

The hot spot in the middle was added in post. I was going for a "bathed in light" kinda feel. The only part blown out on the original footage was the silver lining. Here's the original.

 

[MikeHedge]

what is silver lining?

I know you tweaked this in post... you are saying that the sensor protect problem wasn't a problem for you with this shot?

 

[Rick Darge]

Looks like a painting in motion...

 

[Andrew Walker]

Looks cool. I like it when clouds look black.

 

[Jesse Rosten]

No, the sensor protection was not a problem for this shot. The silver lining is the backlit part of the cloud's edge. And I think it's also an english idiom. "Every cloud has a silver lining."

 

[Robert Mott]

This is amazing. I like intense dramatic feel that you created.

i have selly question cause i dont have any background on Timelapse
how you guys do it ?
i know you have some setting in camera will do this ?
but how it works ?
would camera still on for more than 6 or 8 hours doing this timelpase ?
or its switch off then it turned on when supposed to capture it's next take
as you defined it to do ??

That's a wonderful artistic choice truly. The contrast is beautiful.

Really nice Jesse,

Try it in reverse.... I think it's even more powerful.
