-- VIDEO --

Equipment:
- 5D still camera (it captured 2263 images over 5 hours)
- Images remotely captured with "Remote DSLR Pro" on a WinXP machine
- Cropped, batch adjusted, and batch exported in Aperture
- Combined images with QuickTime PRO
- All post work done in FinalCut Pro 5

If you want to have some fun, "scrub" the video forward and backward (using the timeline), and watch the water level change (and the entire dock move!). Pretty entertaining :)

The technical challenge here is to expose each frame properly, without getting horrible flicker. The daytime shots were shuttered arround 1/250th, while the night shots were often 7 second exposures (or more). This variable exposure is difficult, because any SLIGHT difference between any 2 frames will cause a flicker (and the human brain is very sensitive to flicker). So, the magic trick is to go from 1/250th to 7 second exposures smoothly. If you've done time-lapse over varying illumination conditions, you know what I'm talking about. it isn't an easy problem.

Fantastic Swimmingpool!

The "Pool of the devil" is a natural basin at the highest point of waterfalls Victoria. Crowds of tourists overcome fear swim on Overhanging

The Victoria Falls, along the Zambezi river, are the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. It extends for over one kilometer and a half to an average height of 128 metres. The pool of the devil emerge every year with the dry season, when the water level lowers discovering a wall of rocks just at the point where the river begins its fall breathtaking

Flickr Photographer against Flickr Video

Today, just accessed on Flickr, the first image that I saw was:



Flickr users are not waiting ... was born groups against videos on flickr.
Protests are numerous ... and these groups already counting thousands of subscribers.

We Say NO to Videos on Flickr
We Say NO to Videos on Flickr - View this group's photos on Flickriver

NO VIDEO ON FLICKR!!!
NO VIDEO ON FLICKR!!! - View this group's photos on Flickriver

On the contrary are emerging groups favourable to video on flickr ... but users for now are very poor!

Videos On Flickr (we say YES)
We say YES to Videos on Flickr

...post your comment about the decision to include videos on Flickr.

If you want you can...
