I was hoping to go to Ireland this year but I may go visit Yellowstone instead. Beautiful, just beautiful.

good thinking

wow. frame 2:30 with the water and ice is amazing... how did you get the pan shot so smooth on such a lengthly shot? great work.
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

I use a modified telescope mount for panning, check out my profile.

I was asking myself the same question... ;-))

Really amazin' !!

Amazing as always.

it so bizarre to see buffalo walking down the road like they are cars.
Miles Britton 2 years ago

Bison. No buffalo in North America.
Steven Pardo 2 years ago

Only true buffalo in Asia

Hey I've got an idea, let's all get technical and completely miss the point of the comment!

Tatanka.

they paved the trails the buffalo made because they had already found the easiest way through the park.

The night scene is incredible.

Beautiful Andrew. Were any TL's from compressed video?
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

Nope, haven't tried that yet, although the D90 has a limit of 5 mins on video.
Dustin 2 years ago

The 2:30 shot was stunning.
Rafael Rangel 2 years ago

Great video. It made Yellowstone to go to the top of my vacation spots for 2010...
Alexander Gromow 2 years ago

It is a superb piece of art, the slow camera shots are intriguing - they show once again that the Mother Earth is really a living being! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your art with us.
By the way, the musical background is very adequate for the video, it sounds very nice…
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

Thanks Alexander! Surprisingly enough, none of the video shots are slowed down.
Patxi Hastoy 2 years ago

LoL nice work. Andrew I am very curious to know how you managed to shot the last peace of it . The stars in the night. How?? still with your Nikon?
Jonathan Martin 2 years ago

the small buffalo shot is so cool!
Bryan 2 years ago

truly beautiful video.
rebecca 2 years ago

WOW!!! That was beautiful!
Maybe one day i'll be able to
see this in real life!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
joelaz 2 years ago

Excellent. How do you take time lapse stills with the D90? I didn't think the D90 had a time lapse option.
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

I use a Pclix external intervalometer.
Alexander Gromow 2 years ago

Yes Andrew, you are right...
I used slow motion as I had to say "time lapse", a conceptual mistake, indeed.
Again: good job!
This comment comes from down the equator, from Sao Paulo/Brazil...

Nice work! I loved the Milky Way timelapse at the end.

Take care.
Devin Bunna 2 years ago

Wow, very nice job. I think I need to go to Yellowstone. Living here in Idaho, it would be an easy trip.............
Ken Gelskey 2 years ago

Awesome video!
Sean Plaske 2 years ago

How do you see the milky way? i've been trying to capture it on a time lapse but everywhere i go i get nothing... amazing video.
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

Depends on the camera and the conditions, the D80 I had before couldn't really do it, the D90 just barely does. This was the first time I can remember being far enough away from light pollution to actually see the Milky Way with my own eyes.
Keith Loutit 2 years ago

/Andrew - Love the movement of the ice / water spinning below the clouds.
Gary H 2 years ago

Andrew, that was awesome. I was worried you shot that all in one day--glad it took you a few days. Love the way it flowed with the music and you are getting good! Now I have to drive 21 hours to visit Yellowstone--wonder how my 6 yr and 4 yr old will like sitting in one spot for numerous hours of the day.. lol. Keep up the killer work :-)
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

Our drive was 12 hrs but 21 would still be worth it. Yellowstone is amazing...I was with many family members so I didn't really venture off the beaten path at all. There's so much to see!
coastiefish 2 years ago

I appreciate what you've captured. Takes me back to my trip, love that smell around the pits ;)

Magnifique ça donne vraiment envie d'y aller.

Sweetness. Curious how you did the tilt up on Yellowstone Falls. Is that in post? Do you have a robot arm? :)

Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

Hah, I stuck my head throught the sunroof and had my elbows on the roof.
Wei Jiang 2 years ago

Mike A 2 years ago

that buffalo shot was something, from a camera while in a car, shooting stillshots...???? great job andrew.
Hayden Pernia 2 years ago

As Britton said, they are Bison. Agreed that that shot was awesome though.
jsendicott 2 years ago

This is one of the best D90 videos I've seen on Vimeo. Great work!
When I first watched it I couldn't believe how sharp the image looked; then I read you did still image timelapse. Aha! Now I know the secret.
Hendrik Kleinwaechter 2 years ago

Just amazing.

If you are there, go and test some Buffalo steak, it's the best thing there is to eat on the world.
Timo Heuer 2 years ago

Andrew that was awesome! Thank so you much for showing us the beauty of life and nature in Yellowstone!
Matthew Fredrick 2 years ago

crazy stuff, the colors are so beautiful. What did you do so you wouldnt lose color converting it?
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

The whole thing was rendered in After Effects, I didn't do much CC at all.
Chris Lonergan 2 years ago

Really enjoyed that! Made me want to rent a van and explore the beautiful National Parks of the U.S. By the way my girlfriend thought the baby buffalo was cute.
Stephen Niebauer 2 years ago

oh my. this was great.
Ethan Zuck 2 years ago

LOVELY choice of music!
The fleet foxes are enticing :]
michelle sidles 2 years ago

Were we there at the same time?! We were there Memorial Day weekend and I put some of the pics on my blog. Your video is STUNNING! And the music is a perfect choice. It was just like being back there! :)
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

Yep, I was there from the 24th-28th. Post a link to your blog, I'd love to see it.

You have to scroll down a couple posts to see the Yellowstone stuff. :) We stayed in W. Yellowstone, too. Such a great little town.

Out of curiosity where do you live. I saw you drove 12 hours! We drove from Spokane, WA (and it only FELT like 12 hours). It was more like 8 or 9. :)

M~
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

Nice pics! We came from Troutdale, Oregon.
Bob Trongone 2 years ago

OK, now that I have seen this.............I HAVE GOT TO GET AWAY FROM THE NY METRO AREA!!!!! Now, there are great places in NJ/NY but this is EPIC!
Faith W 2 years ago

That's beautiful! Brings back memories. Perhaps you'd consider Grand Teton National Park. We found the Tetons less travelled and is just, if not more beautiful. I was scrolling through the posts. Am I to understand you shot all this on video on the D90? Amazing! Thank you for showing me the potentials!
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

We left through the Tetons, but didn't have much time left to explore. The straight video shots were done in "video mode", the timelapse sequences are compiled from still images.
Faith W 2 years ago

Mike Kelly 2 years ago

Awesome Andrew. The shots were beautiful. It's a great feeling, knowing there are places in this vast country that are forever.
Gretchen B. 2 years ago

Great work and beautiful place, but I found the buffalo walking on the road around cars rather sad. Just me.
Chema García Vonloewe 2 years ago

From Spain¡ Awesome video men, beuatiful¡ Please my big question, how did you make the last shot of the video, the stars¡ your camera is very sensitive no? or maybe yellowstone is so incredible, thank u bye¡
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

The Milky Way shot was about 130 30 second long exposures.
Carl Olson 2 years ago

I've spent a lot time in Yellowstone... ah, man, now look what you've done... I've got to go again :) Great video!
Donna Miller 2 years ago

Wow, absolutely beautiful! Words don't really do it justice. The night sky was beyond beautiful, and it was so wonderful to see buffalo. The baby buffalo was so cute... where was mom though? You've matched the images to the music just perfectly. Who did the soundtrack? It reminds me of SadSong.
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

Don't worry, that calf wasn't alone, there were others in front and behind. The song is called Heard Them Stirring by Fleet Foxes.
Cynthia Holladay 2 years ago

Pretty awesome! I have to know... was the meteor at the end real or dubbed?
Andrew Curtis 2 years ago

Real of course, although I didn't see it myself because I was losing the battle to stay awake while the camera was going.
amankerstudio 2 years ago

i like the cloud windy..
how much time do you spend to record that scene?

Greetings from a Curtis over the sea! Thanks for posting this video, Andrew, I really enjoyed it. makes me want to leave UK right now and go and explore Yellowstone. I'll get there one day!

Michael Garske 2 years ago

Dude! That last shot is by far my favorite. It looks so surreal.
Gracie Moore 2 years ago

This was awesome to watch! This makes me want to go to Yellowstone! I loved the majestic shots and also the shots which captured the innocence of the bison calf.
