Chaser and photographer of the Northern Lights, astro and nature photographer, UW-Madison astronomy-physics ‘26.
I upload videos of the aurora from my chases, and educational videos offering tips and tricks for aurora chasers! Space weather can feel very complicated sometimes, but I'll break it down into easy to understand segments.
Love the timelapse! ❤Up here in Fargo, ND we got a huge show at about 1a to almost 2:30a. I was able to get video of a portion of it, shocked me to no end. I thought the show we had a year or so ago was impressive, but this blew that out of the water. Absolutely STUNNING! ❤
Hey, germany at 52°N here, it was beautiful. I stayed awake the whole night as well, even when my second camera battery died and i didn't want to run home to get the spare, so i switched to my phone. If i may ask, how do you do timelapses with single photos? I usually only do single long exposures and work with them, but i have absolutely no experience with timelapses. What program would be best to use? Beautiful display AR3664 gave us. Maybe it decides to come around the limb once again! :)
Glad you got to see it! I used an intervalometer to have my camera take pictures continuously, then I used a program on my Mac to turn the photos into a video. If you search timelapse creator app I bet you'll find lots.
@@samwarfelphotos thank you, i used an intervelometer as well, i mostly meant the post processing program you used, since i never used one for Video/timelapses before, since i focussed on single pictures most of the time, even though i do still have data of several middle latitude aurorae to make them. I use windows since i don't have any apple products, and apps are difficult and a lot of extra work for that many raws- Thank you again! :)
@@meloney You'd likely use one program to ingest the still images and spit out a video file, and then another to do the actual video editing. Assembling all the still images by hand into a timelapse in a video editor would be a nightmare.
The first time I loved audio with a video. Our neighbors were playing Don't fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult full blast to give an eerie feeling. Here in Iowa it looked like a crazy disco party...
@@samwarfelphotos The top 3 in my 54 years in Iowa. But, this storm was so dynamic I definitely yelled WoW the most. It's always nice when you can see them on the southern horizon also. Definitely like being under a dome!
Impressive. Aurora Australis for us in the Southern Hemisphere was just as impressive. I live in New Zealand, in a town on the West Coast on the North Island. Generally, I can capture it if conditions are strong enough, but it cannot be seen with the naked eye. This storm was seen with the naked eye by a lot of people in the North Island, which proves how powerful it was.
@@samwarfelphotos so am I. It was worth spending the night in my car. I had my camera to takes photos and I had my cellphone recording a hyperlapse video. Sadly, my cellphone battery died while I was asleep after 8½ of recording.
I agree in principle. However, I had issues shooting and the timelapse had interruptions anyway. So I put the still photos there rather than have a bunch of jumps.
We traveled to WI too and were somewhere north of Tomah, setting up afte the storms came through. New at this but our camera caught a lot of it. Just overwhelming.
