The wind was really blowing on this day. This was of course taken in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is an eight second time-lapse video. It took approximately twelve minutes to capture. It was cold, really cold out there that day. Fearing the camera would tip over because of the wind I had to stand by it while it captured the photos. To keep warm during that twelve minutes I either ran in place or jumped up and down. The elk must have thought I was crazy. Sadly, it won’t be the last time they think that. Photographers are a little insane. Even with the cold it is really fun to make these sort of videos. The camera was Nikon D800. All processing was accomplished by the camera. Sometime in the future I’m going to edit it in Final Cut pro and slow the video down just a little so that it is smoother. Until then this is it. Hope you enjoy! CLG

Best viewed in HD Darn wind causes some vibration of the video but considering all it is not bad.
so cool!
Thank you, still learning the video process. Craig
Really enjoyed this…thanks for posting! Was this from a recent trip to RMNP?
Fred, you got it. I try to make it as often to that area as I can. Once you heal up you got to get over to that area. As a photographer you will love it. Craig
Thanks, Craig…yes, I’ve got to get to that area this year! Sounds like a wonderfully beautiful place to photograph.
