the archipelago Lofoten in Norway.
My favorite natural phenomenon is one I do not even know the name of, even after talking to meteorologists and astrophysicists I am none the wiser.What I am talking about I have decided to call The Arctic Light and it is a natural phenomenon occurring 2-4 weeks before you can see the Midnight Sun.
The Sunset and Sunrise are connected in one magnificent show of color and light lasting from 8 to 12 hours. The sun is barely going below the horizon before coming up again. This is the most colorful light that I know, and the main reason I have been going up there for the last 4 years, at the exact
same time of year, to photograph. Based on previous experience, I knew this was going to be a very
difficult trip. Having lost a couple of cameras and some other equipment up there before, it was crucial to bring an extra set of everything. I also
made sure I had plenty of time in case something went wrong.
If you can imagine roping down mountain cliffs, or jumping around on slippery rocks covered in seaweed with 2 tripods, a rail, a controller,
camera, lenses, filters and rigging for 4-5 hour long sequences at a time, and then
having to calculate the rise and fall of the tides in order to capture the essence – it all prved bit of a challenge.
And almost as if planned, the trip would turn out to become very
difficult indeed. I had numerous setbacks including: airline lost my
luggage, struggling to swim ashore after falling into the Arctic sea: twice, breaking lenses, filters, tripod, computer, losing the whole dolly rig and controller into the sea, and even falling off a rather tall rock and ending
up in the hospital. As much as I wanted to give up, the best way Out is
always “Through”. I am glad I stuck it through though because there were some amazing sunrises waiting. At 1:06 you see a single scene from day to night to day.
I asked the very talented Marika Takeuchi to specifically compose and
perform a song for this movie, and what she came up with is absolutely remarkable. Thank you very much Marika![/more][/quote]
Terje Sorgjerd ormai è un abituè di :ln: e come farsi scappare l’occasione di mostrare il suo nuovo timelapse video fresco fresco.
Lo abbiamo già visto sulla lega [url=https://leganerd.com/2011/03/22/the-aurora/]qui[/url], [url=https://leganerd.com/2011/04/16/the-mountain/]qui[/url] e [url=https://leganerd.com/2011/04/19/the-southwest/]qui[/url] a cura, nell’ordine, di Bob, mia e di Chopinhauer.
Questa volta è alle prese con la straordinaria luce dell’artico, ripresa dall’arcipelago delle isole Lofoten in Norvegia.
Musica composta appositamente da [url=https://www.facebook.com/pages/Marika-Takeuchi/119736281425652]Marika Takeuci[/url] per questo video.
