Milky Way Rising Time Lapse [HD]

[topukgear]

Absolutely stunning, I'm getting this lens for my canon 550d, just need to find a dark location on a clear night. Was there a lot of post processing done? And where these shot is RAW?

[cacikgibi]

This is a great video!

Can i ask which f-stop u used? Is it 2.8?

[Harles99]

@cacikgibi Thanks , Yes F 2.8

[SonnnyyyScooott]

That's beautiful!

[trophybo]

I may sound stupid but how are you able to see the stars like that?can just the camera see the stars in that way or can you too ??

[Harles99]

@trophybo Yes the stars & Milky Way can be seen with the naked eye. As long as you're far away from the city lights.

[sk8eryoyo]

what program..?

[oldi184]

Just beautiful...

[goldenguy12345]

How was this done? And can I do this with a Canon EOS 550D? Or would I have to do an infra-red conversion for my camera

[Harles99]

@goldenguy12345 Yes you can do this with a Canon 550D, no infra-red modification needed.

[r3cca]

What filter did u use?

[Harles99]

@r3cca No filter...just a Nikon 24mm 2.8 lens

[r3cca]

@Harles99 i thought you shot it with tokina 11-16 lens ?

[Harles99]

@r3cca Oopps..you're correct. I've shot so many of these videos that I've forgotten what lens I have used lol!

[r3cca]

@Harles99 Haha. great time lapse anyway

[WynnerMan]

omg is this real and if so where do i need to build my house

[Theokondak]

Hey there again!Thats much better than the prev video of yours i saw!You still got the flickering issue, and this time your composition was not that good too.You didn't noticed these power cables there?Cheers keep it up!

[frmwthn]

How many pictures? Inspiring, by the way!

[GOBbluthagain]

damn u sun!!!!

[mistuhbk]

my god imagine what people felt hundreds of years ago without light pollution. imagine seeing this everynight from your bedroom window. im envious...

[james65508]

how do you do a time lapse someone reply???

[ArcanePath360]

@james65508 type timelapse tutorial into Google :)

[Mountchoirboy]

Awesome need to see this when I doubt a Higher power exists



[jack342able]

do you think there ever will be a milky way rising (starry night) at my country denmark where i live? plz answer for this

[zkzkan]

I'm so glad to see these videos on the internet. But it's sad that I can't them in the city. ): The world is filled with wonders...

[vmcphillip1]

Are real work of art. Thank you and congratulations!

[13teleportingman]

how come people are so blind on not realizing the beauty of the night sky? i mean sure there's light pollution but c'mon! take a trip out to the wide open desert plain or the highest peak of a mountain! its really worth the trip =D

[FloridaGator369]

Hi, Do you think you could do this with a D3100 or a D5000? A response would be appreciated so much.

[Harles99]

@FloridaGator369 Yes, set the camera in manual mode, 30 second exposures, ISO 3200.

[royappa]

Did u shoot in Manual? A? P? What was the settings on it ?

[Harles99]

@royappa Manual - 30 second exposure, ISO 3200, WB 5000K

[themangix357]

Ei may I ask a question is that really the milky galaxy? I mean can you really see it at the night sky? :O

[Harles99]

@themangix357 Yes you can. As long as you are in a dark location, far away from city lights.

[bymacorg]

Cool! What intervalometer did you use? If your camera has infrared, you or someone who want to try time-lapse photography, could use an infrared time-lapse remote like this one: tempus.bymac.org

[Uscbryan949]

Light pollution sucks. I always thought it would be cool if a few times a year they would shut off all lights in the city's for a few moments so people can see what's above them. Probably not possible as I'm sure something would blow when they came back on but still...

[Uscbryan949]

Absolutely amazing! Great job. It also makes you think how much asteroids fly by earth with ever hitting it. Life is one big "in the right place at the right time"

[DarkPhobiaWins]

Holy fucking shit, this really helps give the impression that we are just nothing on a rock, floating through the emptiness of space.

[sonnetxi]

i have NEVER seen the sky like that. is it because i live in urban environment??

[ulfy01]

@sonnetxi Yep. It's also known as "light pollution", whereas light in urban areas actually ends up shining outward, towards the sky, rather than downwards, where it's needed. This obscures almost all the stars visible from Earth. It's actually quite difficult to get shots like this. You need absolute darkness, no moon, and you need to be there when the Milky Way actually "rises" like we see in the video. But it's really worth going the way to witness this.

[mickeylev]

so if your in a place that have no light at all and no matter how high or low u are you can see this with the naked eye ????

[Harles99]

@mickeylev Yes

[Cypres]

omg I almost came to this XD when I just realized that the Earth is actually revolving and we are looking into the infinity

[arubaforever]

beautiful



[Telecastersim]

questo video è pauroso!

[mcgrady240]

man I hate living in light polluted areas... I wish i lived out somewhere like this to see the night sky all the time.

[planetrockford]

Magical.

[Letspreach]

But what are those countless white specks in the sky? Something on your lens?

[shaeguitar]

can i do this with nikon d3100? kit lense 18-55 f3.5?

[geoffers77]

Just Bloody AWSOME,thanks for doing it Geoffers

[chikitawita]

when in the year does this occur???

[perinick93]

Simply amazing!!! How did you combine all the pics in one video???

[yochickwantsme]

Watch this high. AMAZING

[MrPastaMaster]

Awww its soooo beautiful!!! D; i love life!!!!!

[LanaV6]

Absolutely gorgeous. I am so in love with mother nature.

[SimonSays288]

3 people don't know beauty when they see it.

[Warthog1976]

Awesome vid!!!! Loved every second of it!!!!

[gumrahhh]

pls make this video last longer with same music, 2-3 min would be perfect :)

[d0masixx]

can someone please explain me these two morons?



[calidamagia]

Beautiful video. One question, how did you capture the motion of the planes so well with 30 seconds between shots?

[MrCaioable]

So many meteors o_0

[irishguy4040]

1 person doesn't recognize real beauty when he or she sees it.

[TheChangeInTime]

Great I can watch this over and over again

[jamieball]

excellent work.. thanks for sharing!

[Thnkabtit34]

If its like that every night I'm packing my bags tomorrow.

[presa1200]

nice fade to white effect in the end, btw!

[presa1200]

wow what a magnificent work of art. can we observe milky way from other parts of the world eg Asia as long as no light pollution?

[Harles99]

@presa1200 Thank you, and yes as long as your away from light pollution you'll be able to see the Milky Way.

[presa1200]

@Harles99 thanks for taking your time to reply my post. did you ever try to locate the center of milky way? can it be seen from earth or is it too far away?

[MrBlakeLee]

@Harles99

I cant see it:( And I live in village

[vwlover94]

@MrBlakeLee and...now now the milkyway is visible cause its summer at 11:00pm look south or north depending on your location but its always southeast, and look for a glowing cloud, if weather permits and no moon, and your in a really really dark place, ink black, then youll be able to see the milkyway just fine!! ;) believe me i know from trial and error and i live in a suburb area and went to a somewhat dark place and saw the milkyway just fine ;)

[punishedexistence]

That. is. bad. ass. Period.

[vlad9545]

how the fuck you done this??

how many frames per second??

and what are these fast lines that comes in the video??

you maked pictures right?

[Harles99]

@vlad9545 Shot With:

Nikon D90 & Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 lens

25 sec exposure, ISO 3200, WB 5000k

30 sec intervals, 24fps

The fast lines are airplanes

Yes I shot all the pics myself

[vlad9545]

@Harles99

i mean .. you took every 30 sec a pic??

and how many pics you done??

This is such amazing!

[Harles99]

@vlad9545 Yes, took a pic every 30 sec. For this time lapse i took almost 1000 pics.

[wesj1989]

Gorgeous!!!

[htmlvisions]

I have never seen the milky way like that. Vivid! Live to much light here I guess. Thanks.

[Dt0x75]

@htmlvisions I live in upstate NY... Not very much light and when I go up into the mountains...none.... The stars are absolutely amazing.

[Wormi13]

chemtrails in the beginning

[STAYGNAR]

beautiful.

[Bine1653]

It beautiful. The Nature is great

[VidPhi]

Very beautiful. I know how to do this but there is just too much lightpolution where I live.. too bad. Thanks for uploading.

[ricois3]

Its stange. Its poetic but so scientific. I gess Nature is the best artist in the Universe...

[angelfuree]

That was beautiful.

[afnist]

the world is quite a moving place..

[meowmeowgrl]

This is beautiful:D you can't see that where i live...

[calvin2creep]

@meowmeowgrl seems like you can't see that nowhere nowadays. I honestly believed up until some years ago that these videos were all fake , i still have trouble comprehending this. i won't believe it till i see it.

[TheDASChris]

How many gigs of pics did u take in that timelaps?

[SimulationCharacter1]

Are those streaks of light planes?

[BazzBerry]

@SimulationCharacter1

I believe they are. Falling Stars, Asteroids and Comets do not appear as red, usually a pale yellow or a bright blue, while the lights on planes are blink red., and because this is a time lapse and the time has been sped up, the blinking is not visible.

[koolphil6]

@BazzBerry haha, hey buddy whats up ;P i like this video btw, the stars and other space movements are amazingly beautiful :) thanks to @Harles99 for the amazing vid and taking the time to post this and taking the time and effort to put this vid togeather.

[Harles99]

@SimulationCharacter1 yes those are planes

[arubaaloeman]

Beautiful and brilliant music.

[jazzmessenger8]

Thank you for this! It is very beautiful and truly inspirational. I'll be checking out your flickr!

[ExtendedSpace]

what :O... do you guys ower there realy have clear nightskys like that!? :O

Im in sweden and never seen a wiew like that :( only some white line over the sky sometimes :(

sure its beutifull, but i want that on the video ^^ :)

[42coldplay42]

Does anybody know if this will be visible in hawaii in the spring? Thanks.

[greatkeyboardwarrior]

1 dislike, must be a day person

[alexILMN]

amazing!

[IPixful]

seing this makes me realise how small i/we really are :<

[Designandrew]

no words.. should have sent a poet..

[mirabilis]

DAMN YOU POWER LINES!

[Harles99]

@mirabilis LOL, I literally yelled that out when I was setting the time lapse up last year.

[minhkhanh114]

You Recorded it with A night Meteor Rain ??

[joelp63]

That is awesome!

[imaking191]

is the music in the background a song??? i like it its so peaceful whats it called?

[darkskytm]

@danielcool78 hm :) daniel, it`s not so expensive... I own a d90 and Nikkor lenses...trust me... despite the fact that D3 from Nikon or Mark 3 from Canon are amazing cameras... a good photographer can take a marvelous photo with a tiny compact priceless camera ;)

Harless99, thanks alot man for sharing your beautifull work with us. Trully amazing cheers

[lordraven456]

beautiful video was that here in the usa? and id be surprised if a ufo was caught flying by in the video i saw some things just go by fast....very well put together.

[dunaparty]

really nice!

[onepwnzoringnoob]

so beautiful....T_T

[vladissimo18]

gorgeous

[1080pMarco]

Very good job!!!

[the603kid]

This is probably a stupid question, but is it possible to see all of that within the naked eye? Or was that due to camera exposure?

[BelindaSusan]

That's beautifull!

[tko741]

Very nice! Fantastic visuals. I tried one of these in Maine but dew/condensation nearly killed the camera.

Did you adjust exposure when night turned to day? I'm finding that kinda tricky.

[Ubergamer13]

Holy shit.

It looks unreal.

[creepske]

Harles could u give me advice on doing a timelapse, shooting from around 5pm to 1am in the morning, how do i adjust my settings to shoot the light of day then night time?

[draxdagreat]

i would love to see this before i die.

[haloworn2]

dam that was awesome

[Pietentrekker]

I don't understand how you can use a shutter speed of 25 seconds to get such beautiful pictures of the stars without the sun blinding the whole image. Planning to make a similar video next year from sunset to sunrise but I'm not sure if I can do this with the same settings. I'm totally new to this, but I've always been fascinated about the stars and now that one of my relatives bought a D90 I thought I might give it a go :X

[vwlover94]

I cry when i see this over where i live near the mountains, i see the south part of this, it looks so nice and medium bright and beutifil, man i wish all cities where LED instead of mercury

[PalmyJason]

Wow, that was cool!

[creepske]

hey harles, can you do this without a timer remote, i have a shutter release with a HOLD position? help me out please :D

[OkometubuY]

Grete!!

[i1li1l]

this is absolutely brilliant.. i'm rather surprised by the quality, given that your using ISO 3200. really impressive work, i ordered my timer remote 2 days ago, i cannot wait until it arrives so i can start shoot videos like this (although it wont be as good, since my cam is 7MP and its not an SLR so yeah :P)

[Smitty112]

Did you have some sort of remote firing or did you stay up all night taking the shots?

[Harles99]

@Smitty112 I used a Satechi TR-M intervalometer to take the shots.

[george7378]

I'm so glad to have a dark sky at home. I've spent many a night laying back staring up at the Milky Way and countless surrounding stars, just thinking 'some day, some how'. I have been inspired from the age of 15 (I'm now 16) to look forward to what the night brings, and being able to watch our 200-million year orbit around the core of our galaxy with the naked eye is so amazing, it has the power to bring tears to my eyes. Astronomy is what I want to dedicate my future to.

[hijacker54]

truly beautiful work, how did you have the camera record for such a long duration when the max is like 5min per clip??? also what program do you recommend using to achieve this kinda work? its simply awesome

[Harles99]

@hijacker54 thanks... the camera is sec to take 30 sec exposures, not video. Then i take all the photos and string them together using Quicktime Pro and Final Cut Pro 7.

[circa73skater]

makes me want to just leave and go to the middle of no where to see this every night for my last summer vacation.

[windhorze]

killer...now...how was it done?

[ptotheapower]

beautiful

[RiiGGeRz]

wow, your lucky i would love to see that every night

[Harles99]

@RiiGGeRz Thanks, its is truly amazing to get to see this

[borderraven]

@RiiGGeRz, I've been to Big Bear, CA, where after dark you get beautiful night skies, but if you go up to Lundy Lake, CA it gets much better.

[RiiGGeRz]

@borderraven haha i live in england we dont have nice skies like that :P
