December 5th, 2015 – 37 degrees @ 7:00 a.m. (sunrise @ 7:30 a.m.). It would go on to reach 49 degrees as they day progressed; sure beats 20 below. I setup in a familiar place; a favorite site any time of the year for a sunrise. I employed a 3-camera setup this morning as illustrated in the first image below. I moved camera 3 to three more different vantage points. I used footage from only two of four positions that camera 3 occupied. It is challenging enough to get the exposure correct on one camera as it gets lighter out; 3 different cameras had me running a bit. The more I dabble with time-lapse the deeper its hooks get into me. It is challenging.

From L to R – Camera 3, 2 & 1

Camera 3 moved for wave view

Here are a few single-frame shots from the time-lapse sequences.

Camera #1 View

Camera #3 moved from tree to waves – quick snap in-between

You can view more of my time-lapse projects via my blog or my youtube channel.

The end product of this time-lapse shoot is below. I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I did creating it.

Fort Snelling State Park

Today marked another successful trip to Fort Snelling State Park. To be in the presence of and photograph magnificent Whitetail deer is exhilarating. Last year was my first time at the state park hunting deer with a camera. The experience this year was very similar to last. The weather was much warmer and the timing a week later in November. I could ramble on about the deer I saw and wild turkeys that where everywhere, but I’ll let the photos speak for the experience.
