5 - Timelapse, Long Exposure + Fisheye Lens of the Night Sky

610 shoots with a Nikon D3 and a Sigma 8 mm. Very lucky because the time-lapse was started only 7 minutes before a big meteor passes through the sky ...

Mesmerizing timelapse (and long exposure video) from French photographer Stephane Vetter capturing the night sky using a Sigma 8 mm fisheye lens on the night of Nov 17, 2012 in Champ du Feu, Alsace, France.

1 - Spirits of Norway

This film was shot mainly around the Tromvik area of Northern Norway at approximately 70 degrees North. Tromvik is located right in the heart of the aurora belt and because of this even quiet displays of the Aurora Borealis will always be visible overhead on clear nights. I was very lucky in the time that I visited in that a CME (coronal mass ejection) from the sun hit on the first night I arrived. The earths magnetic field reverberated for the entire week that I was there and I was lucky to witness strong displays every night. The Aurora Borealis is the most beautiful natural phenomenon I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. I love astronomy, and for me there is nothing more tranquil that watching our own galaxy rise but the Northern lights was quite a different experience, one that was in some ways even more humbling. I was fascinated with how the aurora changed so quickly, from rolling like a never ending curtain of soft light stretching, weaving and contorting itself across the Arctic sky, to sharp fingers of green and red piercing the black to its own percussive rhythm. A friend of mine spoke to a native Norwegian shortly before I embarked on this trip and he told him that Norway "is good for the soul" And after visiting I could not agree more.

Nicholas Buer gives us this superb timelapse, Spirits, shot in the north of Norway in the area of Tromvik, far enough north to capture the auroras.

1 - Tilt-Shift Sydney

"Toy Boats" is a short tilt-shift time-lapse video I shot over 3 days while staying in Sydney. The tilt-shift effect was created in Photoshop, compiled in LRTimelapse & After Effects and edited in Premiere Pro CS6. I was fortunate enough to visit while the famous 'Sculpture by the Sea' exhibition was running along the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk. Other locations include Circular Quay, Sydney Tower Eye, Pylon Lookout, Camp Cove, Cahill Expressway Lookout and Observatory Park. Equipment: Canon 5D Mark II with 17-40mm f/4L, 24-105mm f/4L and 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM Music: Bitstream intercept (Minus Beats) by Chauncey Canfield (from the Vimeo music store)

5 New Albums I Am Thankful My Friends Told Me to Get

1. Sun - Cat Power

New stuff from Cat Power?! The first original from the singer in 6 years and well worth the wait. If you don't know CP, this is a good entree.  

Sun
By Cat Power

2.  Four - Bloc Party

As much as I have liked Bloc Party, I wouldn't have thought to look out for new material from them, but am glad my friend Jamiel thought to tell me about it. 

'Four' Out Now! http://smarturl.it/blocpartyFour Directed by NOVA DANDO Edited by Kelly Armstrong Effects by Kristian Shiel DOP// Sam Goldie Producer// Elliott Tagg Grade// Aubrey Woodiwiss (The Mill) A PARTIZAN PRODUCTION

Four [Deluxe Edition]

3. 'Money Tough by Run Dun Crew 

Born out of the unique creative environment that is the Bluefields Sound System studio 'Money Tough is the union of Bluefields’ raw local youth talents Kali Boom and Papa Bantam with international House Music DJ “Evan Rhodes”. The album Money Tough exemplifies the struggle that musicians face living on the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua as well as gives you the flavor and style of its Caribbean roots.

4. Visions by The Grimes

I have this friend, Tobey. If I look through my music collection and look for the artists and albums that really standout, chances are Tobey introduced me to them. The same is true for The Grimes. With her crystalline voice and the tracks churning electronic beats and beeps, these tracks are catchy and stirring. 

Directed by Emily Kai Bock

Visions
By Grimes

5. Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

We live around the corner from the Wiltern Theater and often see lines of fans lined up for new artists. The line for Frank Ocean wrapped around two blocks with some of the most interesting and stylish fans I've seen there. There is something to this guy. Not sure how to explain it. But I like it.
