Nice!  The clouds cooperated too.

nippy"	that usually goes hand in hand <grin>

Subject: New night time lapse video sequence - Seneca Rocks

Greetings everyone,

This past weekend I was afforded a rare opportunity to get in a couple
more time lapse sequences for my West Virginia Nights time lapse movie
(the moon phases and weather patterns have been deucedly antagonistic to
my getting out and getting many sequences shot in the past few months).
This past Saturday, the skies were (mostly) crystal clear (the temps,
though, were quite nippy), so I took advantage of it to take a couple of
sequences. Had planned on using my new traverse tracking dolly, but I
forgot the power cord at home. Alas.

I uploaded a sneak peek view of one of the sequences I took this past
weekend.

This was the end-of-season/chili cookoff party at Seneca Rocks. There
were so many climbers present that a number of parties were still up on
the summit of the South Peak as the sun set. And it takes time to rappel
off. You will see in the first half of this video lights from the
climbers as they are trying to get down. The bright star-like object
that rises within a second of the video starting is Jupiter. The
Pleiades (also known as the Seven Sisters, or M45), enters the upper
left corner of the field of view at about 0:13. There is no music with
this sequence (that'll come in the final movie), and it's only 17
seconds long. Other details noted in the video description on the
youtube page.

Enjoy!
