Heath Carmody | Retro Time Lapse in 4K - 4 hours in 1 song @heathcarmody2867 | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
Tired of seeing the same old blues.. This was from observation #9 (yes, 9 already) at Shelter Bay ferry. Back to my spot from the first few observations this year, where the only real points of interest are the far ferry dock and Ann point at 18.5 km (featured). This was one of my longest continuous time lapses (over 4 hours) from a high elevation, with the good 4k camera. Camera was at least 12 meters above the lake level, possibly up to 16 meters. Either way, not much would be obstructed at 18.5 km, and nothing really is - besides the beginning when inferior mirage was still strong. The lower camera footage will be more useful for analysis.
Not really impressed with the views from higher up. I really do think I can see 'better' from right near the water. Wavy full frame distortion is always much stronger on land, no matter the height. I'll expand on this in an upcoming video. Also notice the camera movement. No wind - maybe a light breeze later on but nothing considerable. Camera was 100% untouched besides changing the battery once. Camera movements don't make sense for wind. 4 hours of recording in 2 minutes shouldn't show any 'gradual' camera movements, especially that slowly rebound. Background and target are both far enough away that they could be close to evenly displaced by refraction. Tripod was secure and camera only at about half zoom. No image stabilizer used on camera. I tried to stabilize it in the editor but there wasn't enough contrast on the far hill, so it wouldn't work right. Oh well, it is what it is.
