Capturing the Stars as the Planets Align - And Relax....  @whatsnottohike

Hello and welcome to What's not to Hike. My name is Martin and I like to film my adventures or something just my everyday activities.

This short video was taken from my balcony using the Dji Osmo Pocket 3. The plan was to initially head into the mountains for a wild camp but there was a storm forecast where I was planning on going and so the next plan was to head to the beach, just a couple of minutes away, to film the stars, as well as the planets which were all formed in a straight line on this evening, a rather rare and fascinating spectacle.

However, luck would have it that the clouds had rolled in earlier in the day and by the time they had cleared, it was way too late to head to the beach and film, so instead, as I went to bed and hoping that the clouds may clear, I set the pocket 3 up on my balcony and filmed a Motionlapse of the stars, with the tips of the houses opposite lit up from a street lamp out, of shot. Although not the night I had planned, I am still very impressed with how well this pocket 3 performs in these conditions. yes, there was some lighting from the street lamp but even so, to still be able to capture the stars like it did with the artificial light is still pretty impressive. We will see how impressive it can perform next weekend when I am going to the mountains for a winter wild camp. So stay tuned for that adventure!

Until then, thanks for watching.
Martin.
