Wow, this was one crazy, creative test shot. The best way to learn is to do and boy did we learn, with a total environment replacement as illustrated here in a split screen showing the before and after of this 50 sec. tracking “reveal” shot. See the final video on YouTube .
These are screen grabs from a video project exploring time lapse and product photography. The Milky Way element took five trips to an observation area West of Bracebridge before I was able to get the desired result. Clouds, ice and midnight dew all had to be over come, and I will never forget the sound of the lonesome freight train as it slowly rumbled through the landscape of lakes and Canadian Shield, a beautifully evocative sound. The video is part of a larger project due in the Spring, stay tuned! ; )
