This 2+ minute video is of the descent of Kulkulkan/Quetzalcoatl on the steps of the pyramid of El Castillo in Chichen Itza.

The time lapse footage was shot entirely by hand using a Canon T2i shot in a prone position. I forgot and left my intervalometer in my hotel, so I was forced to have to hold and shoot, approx. 1 shot every 5 seconds for about 1.5 hours. Needless to say, this was quite the challenge, but I think it came out ok.

Luckily, the clouds completely disappeared when the first diamond appeared. As you can see, I was able to capture all 7 diamonds at the end of the sequence.
