Nice! The clouds cooperated too.

" the skies were (mostly) crystal clear (the temps, though, were quite nippy"
that usually goes hand in hand <grin>

Subject: New night time lapse video sequence - Seneca Rocks

Greetings everyone,

This past weekend I was afforded a rare opportunity to get in a couple more
time lapse sequences for my West Virginia Nights time lapse movie (the moon
phases and weather patterns have been deucedly antagonistic to my getting out
and getting many sequences shot in the past few months). This past Saturday,
the skies were (mostly) crystal clear (the temps, though, were quite nippy),
so I took advantage of it to take a couple of sequences. Had planned on using
my new traverse tracking dolly, but I forgot the power cord at home. Alas.

I uploaded a sneak peek view of one of the sequences I took this past weekend.

This was the end-of-season/chili cookoff party at Seneca Rocks. There
were so many climbers present that a number of parties were still up on the
summit of the South Peak as the sun set. And it takes time to rappel off. You
will see in the first half of this video lights from the
climbers as they are trying to get down. The bright star-like object
that rises within a second of the video starting is Jupiter. The Pleiades
(also known as the Seven Sisters, or M45), enters the upper left corner of the
field of view at about 0:13. There is no music with this sequence (that'll
come in the final movie), and it's only 17 seconds long. Other details noted
in the video description on the youtube page.

Enjoy!
