Full moon over Wellington, New Zealand...
Here is something a bit random, but
none-the-less astounding. A work mate of mine who is also a photographer
captured what is, to me, one of the most remarkable things I have ever seen
filmed.
It is a 3 minute
video clip of the full moon rising over Wellington. It was shot on
Jan.28, 2013, a calm summer evening, as people gathered on the Mt. Victoria
Lookout point to watch the moon rise.
This stunning video is
one single real-time shot, with no manipulation whatsoever. The camera
was placed on a hillside over 2 kilometres from the Lookout point, and was shot
with the equivalent of a 1300mm lens.
The amount of planning,
trial and error, and luck that went into this are mind
blowing. He has been trying to capture this for over a year with many
failed attempts. But 2 nights ago it seems everything was on his side,
and it all came together in a way even he couldn't have hoped.
I honestly can't say
enough good things about this video - from the magnitude of the visuals, to the
intimate stories playing out with the people, to the sheer humbling nature of
seeing the awe-inspiring reality of this giant rock in the sky that we so often
don't stop to appreciate.
One thing I encourage
you to do is watch this on the biggest screen you have - don't waste it on an
iphone screen.
