Skinner Mountain Stratus Time Lapse

Taken from the top of Skinner Mountain next to the Summit House in South Hadley, Massachusetts looking out over the Connecticut River, South Hadley in the foreground, Amherst in the background and Hadley to the left. I'm particularly fond of the light moving across the valley. You can see the wind starts to pick up towards the end and the clouds start to let more light through and I ended up stopping, partly because the tripod blew over (I caught it before the camera could hit the ground) and partly because I was getting cold. A gentleman I spoke to before I left suggested lowering the center of gravity by adding something heavy under the tripod. A good idea considering I'll probably be setting up the camera precariously close to the edge of cliffs in the future. I ended up adding six frames of nothing to the end because as far as I can tell youtube cuts off the end of videos.
