Mark Watson takes on the Morning Glory Cloud

Extreme sports photographer and Nikon Ambassador Mark Watson tells of the photographic adventure of a lifetime - capturing the spectacular Morning Glory cloud. Using a Nikon D300S + 10.5mm fisheye lens attached to the hang glider he provides an incredible angle of the mysterious formation. In an amazing feat, world record holding, Red Bull hang-glider Jonny Durand, has become the first man ever to perform aerobatics on the cloud above the remote wilderness of the Gulf Of Carpentaria.

@Insider1683 you are a little bit jealous i think that you are unable to produce some awesome footage that you has been showcased here in this video. why dont you piss off as i have wasted 3 of minutes of my life reading your post I will never get that back... you are a dickhead.

lol @ Nikon, Canon already has the capability to shoot HD video and take stills at the same time!

Mark,

Take your own advice and get good gear. You're stills looked phenominal...but the Nikon video is total junk. If you're going to do video with a DSLR...move to Canon. Nikon is magical with stills, but they're lightyears behind on HD video....and it shows in this video, compared to the 5D mkii and 1D mkiv films out there.

The aerial photography was just stunning. The talking head footage relentlessly interspersed into it was jarring and brought me out of the awe and wonder over and over. I've downloaded this to my computer so I can edit out the blah blah.

Thanks, poster, for providing these awesome images for us to enjoy. Please don't be offended that we want the thing itself, not conversation about it.

Peace!

@kingnelly - I can confirm that the Majority of this footage was NOT shot on a Nikon camera at all, the camera used in this aerial footage was filmed on a full HD Sony F900R tv camera, mounted inside a V14 Cineflex,

Only the Still photos and the footage from the camera mounted on the Glider itself was Nikon - and not HD, only 720p

I know this as the Post Production editing was completed by my Production Company.

Scott.
