Please enjoy this video- FULL SCREEN. Contains drone sequences as well as other photography
The attached video is 14 minutes in length. Please wait until you have time to relax and watch it on full screen. I consider it my best work yet although there are still a few glitches I would have liked to correct. My drone piloting needs some practice as an example !
This video is the culmination of 4 years of learning, studying, and practicing the techniques demonstrated in this video. Carol and I have just returned from a two week trip to Iceland, June 14-23, 2019. The video attached is a multi-media production including the following techniques which I have learned over the past 4 years.
1. Single images taken with theNikon D750 DSLR, and edited in AdobePhotoshop. The lenses were either the 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, or the 14-24 mm f/4 wide angle lens.
ND Filters: Many of these images made use of neutral density filters (to hold back light and slow the shutter speed). Mostly I used the Lee filter system, with 6 stop of 10 stop ND filters on a tripod and shutter release
2. DJI Mavic Air Drone videos- many of the videos are taken from the drone as those flying over waterfalls or fields of lupine, lava fields, or lava black sand beach and sea-stacks.
3. Videos with other means- I also used theiPhone XS MAXwhich has an amazing 4K video capability and great resolution and sound- used mainly in the driving scenes, or at the Ice Lagoon
4. Time lapse videos- these are taken with the Nikon D750 in high resolution and processed inLR Lightroomsoftware to render the hundreds of individual images into a video
5. Time lapse videos taken with the Nikon using a SLIDER- theDynamic Precision slider with the NMX Motion controllerand iPhone app
6. Videos taken with the newDJI Osmo Actionvideo camera.
7. The entire production was processed usingAdobe Premier Pro video editingsoftware and involved a year’s long learning curve and multiple lessons from the community college, a workshop, and hours of You Tube video studies
8.Music was from a subscription toMusicbed.com
A great source for royalty free music.
