Loading ...This is a collection of timelapse pieces that I shot between late June and early August, 2011, in Eastern Wyoming, and Western Nebraska.
All sequences were shot on the 5D Mark II, in RAW format. The lens used, in all but two shots, was a 24mm f/1.4L II, which I rented from Borrowlenses.com. The other two were shot on my 16-35mm f/2.8L II.
Motion control for the timelapse shots were provided by the excellent Dynamic Perception Stage-Zero Dolly. Since purchasing the dolly, I have been using motion control on almost every timelapse that I shoot.

I have to say, shooting this piece was one of the best experiences that I have had in my life. Travelling 1000 miles from home to spend the summer trying to capture all of the beauty around me was amazing. I finally had the chance to truly see what the night sky was supposed to look like, and it left me breathless. During many moments in the video, you can see plenty of shooting stars, along with a few satellites, and a plane here and there.
Music is “Death is the Road to Awe” by Clint Mansell, from the soundtrack to “The Fountain”. Available here itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-fountain-music-from-motion/id204669166

Utterly gorgeous. I have seen so many time lapse pieces in the past year but I really think this one is the most impressive I’ve seen. The images are cleaner, more detailed with vivid colors and so beautifully composed.

Just wish it were 27 minutes long. The most important thing about this awesome bid is…When you LQQK out there, Remember, That is Where We Live.

A very big well done from Malta to a very young but very talented photographer. Keep it up ! Bryan (Malta)

Very nice indeed, as a suggestion… if you were to crop the frame to a narrower panoramic frame (i.e. super wide) I wonder if this would help get across the awe of the daytime shots. I find that the 16-35 lens tends get a little too much into the shots and the beauty and majesty of the spectacle could benefit from a wider ‘letterbox’ frame.
Just a thought, but still an amazing set of images.
Final thought, have you contacted Wyoming State Tourism office if they would like to use the footage in their promotion of the State, might be an interesting business stream.

Good to see some beautyout there, when we are basically turning the Earth into an ugly mess. Great job. You should contact the Wyoming Tourism office. Music is very repetitive.
