Video Log

Last night I went looking for locations to shoot the sunset somewhere in Ventura. My idea was to shoot the setting light falling while the city lights started to come to life. Despite giving myself an hour or so to scout locations, nothing really panned out, so I drove to Surfer’s Point, Seaside Park in Ventura. I set up my D200 for a time lapse (1 frame every 10 seconds for an hour, give you 10 seconds of video) with the composition towards the sun. Well, the batter died on the camera about 5/6 of the way through the shoot so I packed that up, turned around and noticed how beautiful the sky was and then… the Moon! The way the clouds were dancing around the sky in front of the moon was stunning. Dragged out the video camera, shot a quick clip and called it a night.

OK, so tonight’s Pink Moment sunset wasn’t that great. Such a shame too, this afternoon was BEAUTIFUL! Nonetheless, managed to push some tape through the camera… Oh wait… it’s a tapeless camera! Anyway, it’s practice and I like to shoot.
