"The Trippiest Time Lapse Video We've Ever Seen" -- POPULAR SCIENCE (http://bit.ly/1539nnk) To get the latest on Sunchaser Timelapses, LIKE our Facebook Page! http://facebook.com/SunchaserPicturesPage See the "Making Of" BORREGO STARDANCE in this two minute behind the scenes piece: https://vimeo.com/71237311 After the surprise success of DEATH VALLEY DREAMLAPSE 1 (vimeo.com/57757618) and 2 (vimeo.com/65008584), our next adventure takes us to the desert town of Borrego Springs, California -- a remarkable hidden gem surrounded by the 600,000 acre Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Just three hours south of Los Angeles, this unspoiled landscape shines not only for its natural wonders, but for the absolutely amazing, enormous metal sculptures left behind by local business leader Dennis Avery. Dragons, Dinosaurs, Giant Scorpions, Wooly Mammoths, and much more! All created by incredible steel sculptor www.ricardoabreceda.com/. ALSO, since Borrego Springs (pop 3500) takes significant steps to protect their pristine night sky, they are 1 of only 4 communities in the WORLD to be certified as an official "Dark Sky Community" by the International Dark Sky Association. See http://bit.ly/T3icoB This crazy combination of amazing steel sculptures and protected sky led to some pretty cool results, as the giant creatures awoke for a midnight "Stardance." Definitely the best Milky Way shots we've ever captured, as well as some exciting star trails, and more experiments with "Starscaping" (shifting from stars to trails in mid-shot). This was also our first shoot with the Canon 6D, and we were very happy with the pushed ISO results. Star Trails shot at 25 sec exposures. No special effects used, just the natural rotation of the earth's axis. Photography Merging using STARSTAX. Shot with Canon 6D and 5Dmkii, with a 24mm/1.4 lens and 28mm/1.8. While visiting, we also learned that the philanthropist who commissioned and erected the statues (Dennis Avery) passed away almost a year ago... Less
