Amazing time-lapse video

New Zealand Landscapes Timelapse Volume Two from Bevan Percival on Vimeo.

How amazing are time-lapse photos and video. We have the ability today to capture not just stills but amazing video. Something like the time-lapse above takes so much planning and effort. It’s not like you can just capture something in a matter of minutes and move on, you really have to be dedicated to your craft.

Today you have the ability to make amazing ART, go out there shoot RAW and create.

Here is what the photographer wrote in the description of the video.

“This timelapse features my best work yet. It represents hours and hours of dedication to the art. I’m driven by chasing fleeting moments of damatic light on beautiful landscapes and also capturing the night sky and milky way in all it’s glory is a real buzz. Not be mention curling up out under the stars beside all the gear for whole nights at a time catching some sleep here and there between checking the gear and changing batteries and staring up into eternity with spectacular meteors burning up in the cosmic shore out the corner of your eye. Doing this sort of thing has bought me closer and closer to the wilderness.

There is something about doing this sort of stuff that just makes you want to keep coming back for more and more. Maybe it’s the experience of being out there at one with the incredible beauty of this landscape. Maybe it’s the challenge of capturing it in the camera in the way that you witnessed it. Maybe it’s the excitement of seeing just what you got when you finally render it all out. Maybe it’s the satisfaction you get out of showing this to other people. Most probably it’s a combination of all these things.

I hope you enjoy watching this timelapse. Please leave a comment if you wish, I’d love to hear from you. It is my hope that in bringing back a little piece of nature to portray in this way helps spark the respect we need to have for such an incredible place.
