Ibiza Lights III es el último capítulo de la serie Ibiza Lights y, como en anteriores trabajos, se mantiene mi intención de mostrar Ibiza desde un punto de vista que normalmente no se ofrece de la isla. Ha sido un excelente año repleto de viajes a nuevos lugares, oportunidades y experiencias, que me han brindado la posibilidad de conocer a grandes fotógrafos del timelapse como Dustin Farrel, Enrique Pacheco o Daniel López. Gracias a mi anterior vídeo, Ibiza Lights II, he visto reconocido mi trabajo y eso me ha dado fuerzas para seguir creando timelapses. Las imágenes fueron hechas con una Canon 5D Mark II y Canon 5D Mark III he utilizado los objetivos de Canon 16-35mm, Canon 24-70mm, Nikon 14-24mm. La mayoría de las tomas nocturnas fueron hechas en F/2.8, ISO 1600, 3200. Para el movimiento he usado una gran herramienta: el slider de Dynamic Perception. Para las puestas de Sol he utilizado la aplicación para iPhone PhotoPills, con la cual es posible planificar las tomas, y con la que puedes visualizar la trayectoria de sol y luna en realidad aumentada. Para compensar las luces en los amaneceres y atardeceres he utilizado el software LrTimelapse. Si estas interesado en la licencia de mis clips o hacer algun trabajo timelapse, contacteme .................................................................................................................................................................................... The breathtaken sunsets of the island of Ibiza and its spectacular star-filled sky with Milky Way are some of the main characters of my new video Ibiza Lights III. Ibiza Lights III is the last video in the Ibiza Lights series and, as in previous works, my intention remains the same: to show Ibiza from a point of view that is usually not shown. It’s been an excellent year for me, full of trips to new places, opportunities and experiencies that have given me the chance to meet great timelapse photographers like Dustin Farrel, Enrique Pacheco or Daniel López. Thanks to my previous video, Ibiza Lights II, I’ve seen my work recognized and that has given me the strength to continue creating new timelapse videos. All images were made using a Canon 5D Mark II, a Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 16-35mm, Canon 24-70mm, Nikon 14-24mm lens. Most of night shots were taken with the aperture F/2.8 and ISO 1600, 3200. The camera movement was achieved using a great tool: the Dynamic Perception slider. I have used the iPhone app PhotoPills to plan the shots and sunsets, and also to predict the Sun&Moon paths using its augmented reality viewers. I also employed LrTimpelapse software to compensate exposure in sunrise and sunset shots. If you would like to license any of my clips or hire me to shoot timelapse for you, please be in touch.

Screengrab: "No CGI was used in the making of this." What?!

An experiment in transitions. None of the effects are computer generated. All the trickery took place literally in front of the camera. Thanks to Kevin McAlpine for the song / audio work! kevinmcalpine@gmail[dot]com More stuff I've made- http://www.youtube.com/user/williemayswitte

Even though the title ("Screengrab") explains the technique, I still am scratching my head. So impressive. And a reminder it's no the tools that lead to creativity.​

Dance, Stop-Motion and a 360° Camera Rig: LightSpin

LightSpin is an experimental photography and art project that finds its source in a unique lightpainting technique. For this project, ten performers improvised contemporary dance movements at the center of a ring on which 24 cameras were mounted. Their brief dances were carried out in pitch darkness, light being aimed at the subjects as to reveal their shapes and movements, thus capturing their passage in a defined space. Pushing the exploration even further, the final result of this project becomes a fully animated, 360-degree representation of movements! Viewed and shared on the Web, the LightSpin project is launched as a world premiere in honor of the International Dance Day. Dancers: Emmanuelle Bourassa Beaudoin, Dylan Crossman, Paul-André Fortier, Margie Gilis, Kim Henry, Cori Kresge, Merryn Kritzinger, Leon Kupferschmid, Daphnée Laurendeau, Simon Xavier Lefebvre, Louis-Elyan Martin, Alex Morin, Coralie Muroni, Erin Poole, Lucie Vigneault, Michael Watts http://ericpare.com http://timecodelab.com See full gallery on http://lightspin.ca Team Nicolas Foisy, Stéphane Hoareau, David Gaudet, Jeremy Lloubes, Jean-François Sarrazin LightSpin, from the creators of The http://24x360.com Project.

Timecode Lab and Eric Paré have developed this project is called LightSpin using a special camera rig  of 24 DSLR cameras. ​

They’re planning to release a making-of video a month from now, on May 29th, 2013. ​

SmartInversion: helium-filled flying object that moves through the air by turning inside-out

SmartInversion is a helium-filled flying object that moves through the air by turning inside-out. This constant, rhythmically pulsating movement is known as inversion and gives the flight model its name. Further information: http://www.festo.com/en/smartinversion SmartInversion ist ein mit Helium gefülltes Flugobjekt, das sich durch seine eigene Umstülpung fortbewegt.

From the Festo web site:

SmartInversion is a helium-filled flying object that moves through the air by turning inside-out. This constant, rhythmically pulsating movement is known as inversion and gives the flight model its name. With the intelligent combination of extreme lightweight construction, electric drive units and control and regulation technology, inversion kinematics can be indefinitely maintained to produce motion through the air.

Timelapse of the Karoo Region of South Africa

Just do yourself a big favor; while the video is streaming, start to relax and turn on HD. Pump up the volume on your speakers to max and enjoy :-) Please be so kind to share the video and feel free to embed the video wherever you like. Read more about shooting Karoo Journey below. Arriving in the Victoria West area on our first day of our timelapse trip to the Karoo, we were anxious to scout some locations to get shooting as soon as possible. It was now evident that there was indeed a heatwave passing through the country... As soon as we decided where to shoot first, we didn’t waste any time to unpack our equipment. I don’t think we realized just how much gear we had until we started hiking up these rocky hills, solar panel and all! It took several hikes to get everything up to the spot where we wanted to shoot. And once the shooting started, it didn’t stop. We had two cameras firing away, mostly one on a Shukuma DOLLY and one on a Shukuma MINI. Much planning is required for any timelapse shots, keeping various factors in consideration and this was no different. I always try to set up at least one dolly for nighttime shooting while there is still sufficient light. It can be quite challenging to set up in the dark, especially when working in uneven terrain and with one camera already exposing. And now try to make your way back to camp... On day four we made our way towards De Aar, almost failing to reach our next stop. There were so many spots next to the road to set up a shot, so we did just that. People were so concerned that they would stop to check if everything was okay. Perhaps they thought we had vehicle problems or perhaps they thought we were just plain crazy for being out in the sun like this!! The days were hot and nights were windy, often stormy. Irregular cloud activities and sudden wind direction changes sure kept things interesting and unpredictable. It was sometimes difficult to know in which direction a storm was moving so I would take the risk to set up my camera to shoot throughout the night, not knowing if I’ll be forced to stop the shot. During one night the wind was blowing like crazy and I was concerned about the camera and lens being so close to the ground. When I got out of the tent there was dust everywhere! As I got back to put all the equipment away, I was barley in the tent when the first raindrops started to fall! We then slowly made our way to the Strydenburg area and came across an abandoned house. On top of that, there was some serious storms brewing all around us. If we had five cameras here they would all be shooting simultaneously in a different direction. The scenes were incredible!! At one point there was an 18 hour period passing by and my camera didn’t stop shooting for more than 30min. After seven nights in the Karoo we came back with a total of about 25 minutes of timelapse footage. Trying to compile this into a song which is less than 4 minutes is simply impossible...

Kidd Revelstoke BC For more photos and such www.richardgottardo.com or connect with me on twitter www.twitter.com/richardgottardo thanks for watching!

Photographer Richard Gottardo on his months in the Rockies hoping to capture the Northern Lights:

"Time after time they prove to be incredibly difficult to forecast."

April 13th and 14th, an enormous solar wind (i.e. a coronal mass ejection or CME) streamed over the Rockies in British Columbia. ​

Just astoundingly beautiful!​
