3 - Death Valley Dreamlapse

(Watch in HD with headphones on & volume cranked, if you can! Hands & arms inside cart at all times!) After the great response to our SUNCHASER STAR TRAILS video, my brave team and I trekked to the world-famous Eureka Dunes in Death Valley National Park to search for some of the darkest skies on Earth. Despite temps below freezing, we went on December 13th, 2012 – the night of the Geminid Meteor Shower Peak, and a time of great planetary alignment! Armed only with boxed wine, firewood, and our DSLRs, we had to conquer epic climbs, sand roads with the 4x4 Jeep, and the occasional UFO... But it was all worth it when the skies cleared and showed us an incredible galactic palette! Star Trails shot at 25 sec exposures. No special effects used, just the rotation of the earth's axis. Photography Merging: STARSTAX. Used Canon 5D & 7D, with a 24mm/1.4 lens and a 28mm/1.8. The Geminids get crazy as the sun comes up (2:20-2:35) but you can spot a bunch more throughout, if you look closely -- or here's a nice shot (http://bit.ly/SkZGdw). There's also some passing planets (1:15-1:30 and 2:15-2:25). I think these are Jupiter and Mars(?), but maybe some smart astronomer out there can verify? The "UFO" appears at (1:30-1:35) and makes three broad circular sweeps over the desert. Though in timelapse it appears to be moving fast, consider the 5 seconds = about 50 minutes, so it's creeping. There was no sound, so it definitely wasn't a helicopter. Closer picture here (http://bit.ly/T3yK3s). It can also be seen cutting through the circular star trails in the shot used above!

If you've never been to Death Valley, you probably have no idea what you are missing. Truly an outstanding experience.

5 - Highlining Across the Face of the Full Moon

The ultimate full moon shot. Dean Potter walks a highline at Cathedral Peak as the sun sets and the moon rises. Shot from over 1 mile away with a Canon 800mm and 2X by Michael Schaefer. This shot was part of a bigger project for National Geographic called The Man Who Can Fly. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/videos/the-man-who-can-fly/

Unbelievably crisp and clear, shot with an 800 mm lens from over a mile away, in real time at Cathedral Peak in Yosemite National Park.

4 - Firefighter Helmet Cam

This video is to show people what it is like to fight fires, and what firefighters across the nation do every day. The more people who realize, the better it will be for our profession. I put together a bunch of clips from some of the better helmet cam footage I got this year while fighting fires in Highland Park.

A year of video taken from a camera attached to the helmet of Highland Park, MI firefighter Scott Ziegler.
