Other than time-lapse, it’s been a while since I posted anything from my drone. These two clips use a cinematic capture referred to as a ‘reveal’. The first is a ‘crane’ shot where the drone climbs vertically and the second is a ‘pull’. The scene is Mt. Sunday in the foreground with the Rangitata River in the mid ground, and the snow capped Black Mountain Range in the background.

With a forecast of snow, I headed off to the Ashburton Lakes area this week. When I got there in the afternoon, the skies opened up for this sunset shoot and the alpenglow really made the mountains pop. Later that evening, the snow came so do watch out for my sunrise clip to come soon.

There has been lots of snow in Central Otago lately and so I needed to get out and bag myself a timelapse. Super pleased with this one and how the sun floods the scene. Watch out for this in my new 'Southern Splendour' time-lapse production coming soon.

I went and set up this timelapse in the wee hours to capture the Milky Way setting and then the sunrise over the back of the snow capped Remarkables. While it may look good on your phone here on Instagram, I actually didn't get my focus bang on. Small issues like these become lessons learned. Thanks for your ❤️ and commets. They're greatly appreciated.

Here's my effort from last weekend where I got the Milky Way setting which meant a 2AM start. I had hoped my 23mm lens would keep the Galactic Core in frame all the way to sunrise, but it seemed my motion gear had other ideas. What did turn out well was a fixing a nagging issue with DaVinci Resolve crashing making it hard to render with the deflicker effect applied. Now it works magically with my PC rendering a 1200 frame 4K clip in a few minutes. There was a lot of flicker caused by my ramper but DaVinci blitzed it and smoothed it all out. Happy camper !

A recent high over the country provided clear skies and the opportunity to get out and capture the night sky. They don't come often, particularly around the new moon period, so I had to get out and shoot a time-lapse.

This scene started out with a midnight trip in to the Bannockburn Sluicings, close to home. I can't get enough of this place, especially the texture in the cliff faces eroded by weather and time. The area reminds me of my trip to the Canyonlands of Utah in the USA.

Here I tried for a Milky Way setting over this butte (a hill with steep sides and a flat top) which I didn't quite achieve. Anyway, the Milky Way raced ahead of my motion settings, hoping my wide angle lens would keep it in frame. Setting up in the dark can be difficult but some preparation the weekend before helped.

I love the intensity of the light at sunrise making the scene very contrasty and intensifying the colours.

Captured on the FujiFilm GFX 100S with the 23mm f/4 lens. The huge sensor of this camera captures so much detail and a huge dynamic range that means I have way more latitude in post production.

Thanks for your likes, comments and shares. They are greatly appreciated.

A few more clips from my recent Fiordland trip. Not quiet enough for a reel, but something to share from this beautiful area.

A few weeks ago, I ventured to Fiordland for work and then took the weekend to capture some time-lapse. Mitre Peak in Milford Sound never fails me for a good sunset scene. With hardly a soul around, I set up my gear and fought off the sandflies, even trying to ensure they would not land on the lens. I’d forgotten to take my repellent.

This production was a first in many ways. For the first time, I used the worm gear by @BlackforestMotion for a ‘pull shot’, setting it up on the zoom ring for a subtle change in the focal length on my Fuji 45-100mm. @mattiabicchi - You're doing the same?

Also for the first time, this clip was produced using Davinci Resolve Studio 17 which I’m slowly beginning to learn. After years of paying subscriptions to Adobe, I decided to ditch the bitch and make the switch with my workflow. A 4K render only takes 9 minutes !

Message me if you wish to license this clip for your advertisement or promotion.
