    Erinomaisen hienolaatuinen sekvensikuvaus. Tuleehan tuo taivas esiin Suomessakin, eikä tarvitse ainakaan tämän takia matkustaa esim. Espanian vuorille...
    Voitko valottaa mitä kamerakalustoa olet käyttänyt?
  • Flatlight Films plus 4 months ago
    Materiaali on kuvattu Canonin 5D mark 2 ja Canon 7D kameroilla. Linsseinä Sigman 15mm 2.8 ja 24mm 1.8.

    I would be hard pressed to imagine how this could be any better as it is absolutely astonishing in every way from crisp lenses, camera motion, time-lapse, editing, color correction, and the relationship of the music to the image.

    Hulppean hyvä.... Radioamatöörinä olisin käyttänyt USB-modea. Revontulet on epätasainen heijastuspinta radioaalloille ja se aiheuttaa voimakasta säröä lähetteeseen. Siihen tulee hieno shamaani efekti.... :)

  • Flatlight Films plus 4 months ago
    Unfortunately during the summer it's impossible to see Auroras. However nightless night in Finnish Lapland is something to experience during the summer time. Have fun!

    I've witnessed the endless daylight of June/July time, which was an amazing experience. I've seen the aurora from Kiruna in Sweden (near the Ice Hotel), but not yet from Finnish Lapland, although from this video it's even more incredible in Finland.

    I see you used a Canon 5D and 7D, but could you perhaps give some hints about what settings used to capture it so clearly and vividly?

    That is so common here in Lapland. Frosty evenings and nights. It is such a thing. Beautiful and magical. Here are the Lapp girl's skirts in the sky swing and fox tails Flashes. But remember the magic, do not whistle, or bad luck will follow you and the God of Thunder watch Bad Eye on You! Believe me, I know it! The secret: color lights on the sky Where The angels are dancing ..
