In Awe of God’s Creation – National Geographic Stunning Time-Lapse Video: Elemental Iceland – Coplesit de Creatia lui Dumnezeu

Un video extraordinar compus din 40,000 de imagini, dar a folosit doar 3,500 dintre ele. Fotograful a calatorit 3,000 de mile pentru acest video si ilmarea a durat 3 saptamani prin Islanda.

Photographer Stian Rekdal combined thousands of photos to create this time-lapse video showcasing Iceland’s natural beauty. He spent three weeks—and more than 3,000 miles—on the road and took more than 40,000 photos. He used about 3,500 of these to make the video.

In Awe of God’s Creation – Imagini pe cer surprinse pe vârful vulcanului Mauna Kea din Hawaii,

Photo credit extremethinkover.com Story from TheVerge.com

ENGLISH:

This three-minute time-lapse video was shot at the summit of Mauna Kea, the 13,803-foot (4.2 km) volcano in Hawaii. Due to its position, the peak is ideal for space observation. It’s currently home to the Manua Kea Observatories, which are used for scientific research across the electromagnetic spectrum, and will soon play host to the world’s largest optical telescope. Photographer Sean Goebel spent seven days and nights over several months capturing the observatories against the spectacular constellations of the Milky Way. The video is made all the more impressive by the sight of lasers seemingly blasting their way into the abyss.

ROMANIAN:

Acest time lapse a fost realizat pe vârful vulcanului Mauna Kea din Hawaii, de la o înălţime de 4,2 kilometri.  Datorită poziţionării sale, locul este ideal pentru observaţii astronomice. Aşa se face că acum el găzduieşte Observatoarele Manua Kea care sunt utilizate pentru cercetări dincolo de spectrul electromagnetic, urmând ca, în curând, aici să fie amplasat cel mai mare telescop optic din lume.

Tocmai de aceea, fotograful Sean Goebel a petrecut şapte zile şi nopţi surprinzând observatoarele sub cerul liber. Clipul este cu atât mai impresionant cu cât noaptea se pot observa laserele care ţintesc spre cer. „Laserele sunt reale, ele sunt folosite pentru sisteme optice adaptive; aşa cum valuri de căldură care ies din asfaltul încins fac ca lucrurile aflate în depărtare să pară neclare, vânturile din atmosferă fac ca detaliile fine ale stelelor să devină neclare. De aceea, laserele sunt folosite pentru a urmări aceste turbulenţe atmosferice”, a declarat Goebel.

In awe of God’s Creation – Aurora Borealis in Iceland Video- Coplesit de creatia lui Dumnezeu

One of the best video compilations I have seen!

Aurora Borealis are a natural light phenomena that can be seen specially in the Earth Poles. The North Pole ones are called Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights, while the South Pole are Aurora Australis or Southern Lights. They appear because of a collision from the particles that form the sun wind against the magnetic fields of the Earth.
The scene of this video is Iceland, a place with amazing landscapes at any time of the year, but it’s in winter when this country attracts the most attention because of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.

Enrique Pacheco has made this video during many personal expeditions and workshops in Iceland from the last three years. Enrique Pacheco is an expert in Iceland landscape and Aurora Borealis shooting, with more than 12 successful trips. If you are interested in travel to Iceland and live this unique experience, Enrique Pacheco offers workshops, in which you’ll learn the time-lapse technique, improve your photography skills and enjoy the amazing phenomena of the Aurora Borealis. enriquepacheco.com/workshop-aurora-borealis-in-iceland

This video has been made with the time-lapse technique, using DSLR cameras to capture consecutive pictures and then put them together. Most of the shots have 10 and 20 seconds of exposition in between, were shot with wide lenses and with the maximum aperture. ISO 1600 and 3200 are the main ones.

In Awe of God’s Creation – A Rare Event: Noctilucent Clouds & a Spectacular Aurora – Nori Noctilucenti si o Aurora Spectaculoasa – Coplesit de Creatia lui Dumnezeu

Photo credit and story www.slate.com (via Descoper.Ro)

ROMANIAN: 

EVENIMENT RAR: Norii noctilucenţi apar la altitudini înalte, iar oamenii de ştiinţă nu înţeleg încă modul în care aceştia se formează şi nici cum se schimbă. Acest fenomen este relativ rar, iar a vedea norii noctilucenţi în acelaşi timp cu o auroră boreală este mult mai rar.

Fotograful Maciej Winiarczyk a fost norocos şi a reuşit să observe acest spectacol celest. Winiarczyk se afla în nordul Scoţiei în noaptea de 4 august, când a reuşit să filmeze nu doar aceşti nori deosebiţi, ci şi aurora boreală. Rezultatul este un spectaculos film time-lapse

Unul dintre cele mai uluitoare momente surprinse în clipul video apare în minutul 1:42, când aurora străluceşte în nuanţe de roz şi purpuriu pe măsură ce moleculele de azot din aer sunt bombardate de vânturile solare.

Norii noctilucenţi sunt luminaţi la rândul lor de către Soare, fiind compuşi din cristale foarte mici de gheaţă situate la 75-85 de kilometri deasupra suprafeţei Pământului. Cristalele măsoară doar 0,1 microni în dimensiuni, adică de 1.000 de ori mai mici decât grosimea unui fir de păr. Aurorele se găsesc într-o regiune situată cu 12 kilometri mai sus decât aceşti nori.

VIDEO by Maciej Winiarczyk

ENGLISH (from the BBC)

An amateur astronomer has captured rare images of a night sky lit up by unusual high altitude clouds and the Aurora Borealis. Macieji Winiarczyk, a member of Caithness Astronomy Group (CAG), photographed the noctilucent clouds and Northern Lights earlier this month. The images were captured over Caithness and have been used to create time lapse footage.

US space agency Nasa has featured the time lapse on an astronomy website.

On the site, astronomers said it was rare to see the clouds and aurora individually. Noctilucent is the Cloud Appreciation Society’s cloud of the month for August. The society said they form in a region of extreme cold in the atmosphere about 30 to 50 miles (48-85 km) from the Earth’s surface.

On its website it said: „Noctiulcent clouds can only be spotted during the summer months and then only occasionally. „They always have an eerie blue, rippled appearance and the processes behind their formations are far from clear.”

Footage from a time-lapse workshop during the Perseid Meteor Shower. Shot on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night in Joshua Tree National Park. Please note that not all of the light trails are meteors. Some of them are airplanes or satellites crossing the night sky. You can tell by the direction and length of the trails.

In Awe of God’s Creation – Mt. Everest Time Lapse Video – Din varful lui Everest – Coplesit de Creatia lui Dumnezeu

Source: Slate:

Breath-taking! [Haha!] I live at an elevation of 1700 meters, and I’ve been up as high as 3700, where the air is thin enough (about 2/3 pressure as at sea level) that just moving around for some people is difficult. Photographer Elia Saikaly went up to 8000 meters to shoot that video, staying awake into the night while other, more sane climbers, were sleeping. At that height, air pressure is a mere one-third what it is at sea level, and climbers, not surprisingly, call it the “death zone”.

Read Saikaly’s account of his travels to scale Everest. It’s harrowing, and amazing, and wonderful. Climbing such mountains is incredibly dangerous, and some people undertake it foolishly. But the ones who prepare, study, practice, and understand what they are doing: I salute them. The spirit it takes to explore is an astonishing thing, and I’m glad so many possess it.

ROMANIAN: Fotograful a mărturisit că nu i-a fost tocmai uşor să surprindă în sute de imagini magia mamei naturi de la o altitudine de 8000 de metri. „A fost absurd de greu să realizez aceste fotografii. Să nu dormi şi să urci pe Everest este o combinaţie periculoasă”, recunoaşte Saikaly. (Descopera.ro)

In awe of God’s creation – The most spectacular footage of the Milky Way – Cea mai impresionanta filmare cu Calea Lactee – Coplesit de creatia lui Dumnezeu

Milky Way (Photo credit: Frank Kehren)

ENGLISH:

Randy Halverson: If you have ever been in a wide open landscape the most interesting thing isn’t necessarily the landscape itself, but what you see coming over the horizon. Growing up in South Dakota the landscape itself can be beautiful at times, but that doesn’t compare to what the sky can do, especially at night. Combine that with the landscape, and it makes for great photo opportunities.

Horizons from Randy Halverson on Vimeo.

ROMANIAN:

Va anunt de la inceput ca muzica, care de obicei e foarte faina la acest gen de video nu mi-a placut de loc, iti atrage atentia de la video, in loc sa ajute la vizionare, asa ca daca nu va place nici voua reduceti sunetul la player si ENJOY.

De curând, Randy Halverson, un fotograf cunoscut pentru lucrările sale în care surprinde calea lactee, a creat unul dintre cele mai bune timelapse-uri de până acum, unul în timpul căruia este imposibil să te plictiseşti. Timelapse-ul nu surprinde numai cerul, ci îl integrează pe acesta în peisaje superbe precum câmpuri de flor, pajişti etc. More information and stills at dakotalapse.com/2013/06/horizons/

In Awe of God’s Creation – New Zealand landscapes time lapse – Frumusetea Noua Zeelandă – Coplesit de Creatia lui Dumnezeu

Photo from New Zealand Landscapes Timelapse  from Bevan Percival

Psalm 92:5 How great are Your works, O LORD!

Photographer Bevan Percival loves to chase ” fleeting moments of damatic light on beautiful landscapes and also capturing the night sky and milky way in all it’s glory”. And how does he get spectacular footage like this (it takes hundreds of hours to make a time lapse of just a few minutes and several thousands of frames)? Percival says he  does this by „curling up out under the stars beside all the gear for whole nights at a time catching some sleep here and there between checking the gear and changing batteries and staring up into eternity with spectacular meteors burning up in the cosmic shore out the corner of your eye.

The result is simply breathtaking. For myself, I see the fingerprint of God all over the place.
