Wild Night Sky

Night time-lapse of wilderness camping in Montana at Cliff Lake. Rock Peak is the main mountain in the background. I took a 20 second exposure at a 30 second interval for three hours (11pm-2am) with an 18mm lens at f/3.5 and 2,000 ISO.

Getting There

Other than the precarious drive up the mountain, Cliff Lake is far too easy to get to. Easy, nearly flat, 1+ mile hike. The Northwest had a very low snow pack this year but there was still a little snow up there when we went. About half of the hike was over snow. The weather was perfect and we caught an amazing sunset. Once it got dark we lit up the campfire and I set up the camera to take the time-lapse above. Although it looks like the sunrise in the video, it’s actually the moonrise.

Two weeks prior to this trip I tried to hike in but got caught in a thunderstorm. I managed to take this photo of Elephant Peak before I left.

Routine Lawn Maintenance

I had some cute iPhone footage of my son playing with his toy lawn mower but then I got this idea for a vintage commercial, so I shot some more footage with a GoPro and a Nikon D7100. The audio comes from an old 1957 commercial that lies in the public domain. Edited with Adobe Premier Pro. Vintage effects were created in Adobe After Effects.
