Ode to the Metropolis

Timelapse - The City Limits from Dominic on Vimeo.

Dominic Boudreault: "a motion photographer, recorded five cities in over a year to create a time-lapse video showing the bustling nightlife of metropolitan areas. From late 2010 to early 2011, the artist documented the cityscapes in Montreal, Quebec, Toronto, Manhattan and Chicago. The video is a series of images from a high vantage point gathered to display the duality of city and nature."

Aurora Borealis Timelapse - Part Deux

I don't know why I've had such a fascination with time lapses lately, or of the Northern Lights, for that matter. They both involve motion, clear skies, and the delights of the natural world.

Or more simply, could it be that I'm just stir-crazy and need to get away? How about to VEGAS in two days? I think so :) That extra-large mojito in the MGM Grand's lazy river sounds spectacular right about now.

This video is a time-lapse shot entirely from this dude's tripod on an Air France flight from San Francisco to Paris CDG. Watch for the Northern Lights to dance around the 1:00 mark or so. Beautiful shots all around. Enjoy!

Beautiful Timelapse of Aurora Borealis

Are you in need of a distraction from work? God knows I am. Apologies for not blogging in over three weeks :(, work has been especially crazy these past few weeks. Between being on call for a week straight 24/7, public scoldings from both HR and the Claims Department, and twice-weekly safety trainings, I've been hasta los cojones in the workaderk life. Here's something I found via the great tech blog Gearfuse that's helped take the edge off of things.

I spent a week capturing one of the biggest aurora borealis shows in recent years.

"Shot in and around Kirkenes and Pas National Park bordering Russia, at 70 degree north and 30 degrees east. Temperatures around -25 Celsius. Good fun."

Big thanks to the guys over at http://dynamicperception.com for their amazing all-in-one motion control dolly.

Music is Gladiator soundtrack "Now we are free"
