Lunar Rainbow in Yosemite Falls (HD timelapse video)

Lunar Rainbow in Yosemite Falls (HD timelapse video)
This night timelapse video was produced from over 500 still images, taken over the course of an hour on a Canon 5D mark II, by the light of a full moon.

Here's what a star trails image created from the individual frames in this timelapse video looks like: https://picasaweb.google.com/107459220492917008623/NightPhotos#5639862160029521298

Last year I created a blog post on how the star trails version was created:
Creating Star Trail Images
http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/05/creating-star-trail-images.html

Creating a timelapse video is similar... you just point to the edited still images with a different free program:
Create a Timelapse Video on Your Digital Camera

This video is best viewed full screen, so you can see the stars move in the sky as the earth rotates under Polaris, the North Star. Enjoy!

    Stunning. It reminds me of this shot of waterfalls and a Moonbow: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/11/28/water-falls-moonbow-shines-aurorae-glow/

    That one has an aurora, but yours has motion! Very, very pretty.

    Beautiful work Jeffrey Sullivan and its cool to see the hikers coming down the trail with their flashlights. :)

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video) The Orionid Meteor Shower this year was a bit of a dud.

To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos. Here's one of the more recent ones building on those pasts posts: Create a Timelapse Video of a Meteor Shower http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-timelapse-video-of-meteor-shower.html I'm curious to see how an HD 720P video gets displayed on G+. I have a ton of timelapse footage that I haven't foun...
