WHERE DO YOU LIVE?!?!?!?

[jcmegabyte]

Nearly all of my vids were filmed in Santa Clarita, CA - about 40 miles north of Los Angeles. :-)

Very beautiful. Love the layers moving in different directions.

[JcmdiStockFootage]

It's surprising how diverse/dynamic the atmosphere is, and so rarely its movement revealed by the presence of clouds at different altitudes - definitely makes you wonder what else might be going on right over our heads that we have yet to discover :-) Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

Incredible!

[JcmdiStockFootage]

Thanks for checking it out! =)

[Skalar300]

Fantastically!!!!!

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for all the attention! =D

Check out my Time Lapse collection! Guarantee you'll like it :)

[jcmegabyte]

After doing a number of time lapses I was really surprised to see just many layers are possible - each moving in different directions with its own characteristics. I have recorded up to 4 layers, and it wouldn't surprise me if there are even more that we just can't see because there aren't any clouds or trails to "light them up" :-)

We live in a beautiful world.

[jcmegabyte]

Indeed - sometimes it's easy to miss the everyday beauty unless one takes the time to notice it :-) Thanks for visiting!

@jcmegabyte im one of the only kids I know that takes the time to watch a sunset or look at the stars. :)

[jcmegabyte]

I think that puts you ahead of the crowd - keep looking up! :-)

Cause of the sun's power

[jcmegabyte]

Indeed - without it, we'd be in big trouble! :-)

Is there a trick to doing timelapse? I have never done this before:) U can send the info in a message to me if you like. Thank you

[jcmegabyte]

Well step one is to aquire the images...

You will need a tripod in which to mount the camera, and a way to make it take a picture every few seconds without moving it. Check the manual to see if it has an "intervalometer" or time lapse / timer feature. A continuous shooting mode may also work if it isn't limited to a certain number of shots at a time. Some cameras also have remote control capability via computer. Let me kow what you find out. :-)

[Docextreme1]

Thanks so much for the tips C....very well needed

[Docextreme1]

You must have some camera to take pictures like that. I mean you seem to capture all movements

[jcmegabyte]

It really helps to have good action to film, and shooting at low sun angles (dusk and dawn) are some of the best times...

I'm using a Canon S5-is and Canon SX10-is to do most of my HD time lapse. Those are by no means top of the line cameras ($350 - $500). The trick is to keep your eye on the sky and be ready when something looks cool. I shoot a LOT of footage so I figure something's bound to look good eventualy! :-)

[red95isback]

what are you using to shoot these?

[jcmegabyte]

This was frame-captured from a JVC MiniDV camcorder in SD (720x480) resolution, that's why the quality isn't as good as my newer stuff. Still, sometimes nature puts on a nice show and I was glad to have the equipment I did at the time :-)

[Elleivier]

Cool!

[jcmegabyte]

I always liked the multi-layer sinrise/sunsets - this one had two, but I've seen as many as 4! Thanks for watching! =D

[djsyar]

spectacular

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for watching! :-)

[tribalxs]

Looked good, but the ad popping up right as the sun was about to hit the horizon and glow really spoiled it for me. :(

[jcmegabyte]

Yea, the in-video ads can get annoying especially on the short vids. However, if you close the ad then hit the play button again the ad stays down.

[14shigi]

hey! amazing time lapse.  What do you mean by multi layer?

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks! The "layers" are clouds at different altitudes moving in different directions and speeds... You can see how the sun lights-up each layer as it rises and also see each of those layers' movements as it does. This sequence only appears to have 2 layers but I've seen as many as 4 at once. The atmosphere does some pretty unexpected things when you actually get to see it! :-)
