The #Aurora like you've never seen it before! in 4K/HDR! 1 A mix of Realtime and Timelapsed videos processed end to end in 10-bit #HDR. "Eternal Green" Some friends and I spent 17 nights in the Fairbanks, Alaska area chasing clear skies and capturing just about every kind of aurora phenomenon imaginable. We were successful 15 times!
The NORTHERN LIGHTS in High Dynamic Range
Science Out There is Michael's channel for all things outdoors and out of this world. And every now and then I like to just compile my favorite clips of a particular subject and just let that video do the talking. This video helps demonstrate the incredible dynamic range Aurora can produce, dozens of stops from faint horizon glows on up to bright white coronas that nearly rival the moon's brightness and illuminating the entire landscape in green.
To achieve HDR video, All timelapse captures were saved as RAW, and all live realtime video captures in 10-Bit 4:2:2. Every step of the process was done in Rec.2100 and output for Youtube in H.264 Rec.2020 10-bit HDR.
