The Painted Night
Переглядів 4045 місяців тому
My wife Sandra & I headed to Whistler from our home in Ucluelet in anticipation of an impressive aurora borealis show on the night of May 11/24. Having lived in Whistler for 26 years, and shot the aurora dozens of times there, I wanted to experience the potentially big show from my old home town. After spending the day scoping shooting locations, I decided we should begin the night on a spot lo...

'Our Whistler' presents a journey through the magical skies over Whistler, BC ... from sunset to sunrise. Original music by John Frame.
Yukon Light
Переглядів 53Рік тому
In September 2013 I headed to the Yukon with my buddy Jon Paine for 11 days of discovery. Most of this movie was shot during our 5 nights camping in Tombstone Territorial Park as well as along the Dempster & Alaska highways. While we experienced everything from driving rain, wind & snow (in the alpine), when the skies cleared and then the northern lights came out ... well, there are few words t...
Whistler Deep Sky
Переглядів 45Рік тому
This short film is the result of 3 years of exploring Whistler's amazing mountains, lakes and 'deep sky' (incl parts of Garibaldi Provincial Park). After many 'adventures', countless sleepless nights & untold frames (from my reliable Nikon gear), I've only scratched the surface of what's around this stunning place I call home - Whistler, BC. Thank you to everyone's patience as I frequently put ...
The 2018 Super Blue Blood Moon
Переглядів 142Рік тому
On January 31, 2018 a rare celestial phenomena occurred, a total lunar eclipse combined with a super moon that was also the 2nd full moon of the month! It was a very overcast/cloudy night so I wasn't too hopeful. That said, my friend John & I drove around Whistler searching for gaps in the sky and fortunately found a few. While I didn't get the shots I had previous scoped & planned for, it turn...
The 2017 Solar Eclipse

This, my first total solar eclipse, won't be my last! There are few words to describe just how powerful an experience it was ... until the next one :) fyi the next one was in 2019 from Chile
Into the Storm
Переглядів 70Рік тому
'Into the Storm' is a little more frantic look at our night skies than my usual fair. This time lapse footage was shot in and round Whistler, BC as well as the Big Island of Hawaii over the past few years, with most being captured over the past year or two. I've tried to represent the various elements of the night sky that keep bringing me back again & again to sleepless, stunning & inspiring n...

There's nothing quite like shooting Whistler at night! This short film captures, in just a small way, the magic of Whistler landscapes & skies from dusk & dawn.

Magnetic Baffin - the short
Переглядів 41Рік тому
For 8 days in late August 2018, Jon Paine, Uli Schmill & I explored Auyuittuq National Park - a true natural & national wonder! I'm hoping this film is able to convey, in even a small way, how incredible this trip was to each of us, why it's important to protect places like this and why I can hardly wait to get back to this part of the Canadian north. Note that this is the short/condensed versi...
Whistler Seasons

This follow-up to my previous Whistler short films, further explores the natural & incredible wonders of Whistler's landscapes & skies but now as it relates to its two main seasons ... less snow vs more snow! That said, there are other celestial seasons on display here & affected by Whistler's 'snow' seasons including Milky Way season, aurora season, ... Enjoy!

Wow! Just Amazing ... love those brave birds! 👍 Subscribed 😎
Thank you 😀
18 minutes of zen. Thanks, I needed that.
Just stunning, thank you 🌊
This is fabulous David.
Thank you Kevin!
Great stuff! I missed to come there, again. Been there 3 years ago and was lucky to catch waves with some sun. I wonder how this rock garden looks in a good storm. All foam probably? 48.953152881940554, -125.59307491935681 And what and how do you fly near Coast Guard helipad, in that kind of wind? :) Very cool video!
Hey David, love watching your work. Im trying to find your timelaps edit story on whistler I remember from about 2015. Has it been deleted? It had Sean Mackey “discover” as the song.
Simplemente genial¡ Once I lived in Vancouver B:C. Awesome times...late February is good time to see Northern ligths in whistler?
Unfortunately I have no idea when is a good time to see the northern lights as it depends on so many factors - the sun's solar activity, cloud cover, moon phase, etc.
Love this David, ❤❤
❤ Wow David !! Thank you for sharing your gift of photography!! Beautiful! Also the music 🎶
Wow! Saw this in Victoria B.C. - in 60 years of sky watching, I’ve never seen something so humbling. Thank you for your work! ❤❤❤
@@canuckcoffeecanada 🙏🏻 much appreciated! It was a pretty amazingly beautiful night 🤙🏻
Stunning. Just stunning
Is this green lake? In whistler the next few days and hope to catch a glimpse of the lights.
Wow, amazing!
Thank you 🙂

Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing this magnificent time-lapse accompanied by the uplifting music and thanks for sharing your outstanding photography on Twitter.
Very much appreciated! :)
Can you please let me know where to watch the northern light in Whistler?
pls see my reply to Andrew D. above
The Music threw me off a bit but I think every Canadian should get to experience Canada. I like exploring google maps.
2:34 beautiful 5:34 here in Belize
Absolutely amazing! Any tips on where I should plan to go to try and see the northern lights in Whistler this January? Thank you 🙏
Honestly, it's tough to see the aurora in Whistler, especially in the Winter when it can be mostly cloudy. Thus why this was a 10 year project. But generally you need to be looking north'sh with a clear view to the lower horizon, maybe from Rainbow Park, Lakeside Park, etc.
Fantastic. I ve been looking at trying to get up to Baffin Island and probably why your video popped up. What a blast you had and very inspiring for this old guy to make the quest. Thanks for sharing and great photography.
Thanks Mark! Hope it all comes together for you! Cheers
I like your shots, they are so pure and amazing
Thank you!
Breathtakingly beautiful! Loved the music as well! Thank you for the stunning capture 🌹🙏🏼🌹
Thank you & much appreciated!
What a beautiful capture of Nature!! The music accompaniment is perfect.
Much appreciated 🙂
I love storms - this is awesome!!
This is just amazing - hopefully I'll be able to get out to see this in person next year
Thank you Judy! Sure hope you do too :)
Wow, That's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Thank you! Have a nice day as well :)
Outstanding! Colours of the sky, reflections, illumination of the foreground, viewpoints, supporting music, love the ending - guess it’s you :-)
Thank you Mecki! And yes, c'est moi :)
Hello David. My friend John referred me here. This is just stunning and just on my phone. Looking forward to watching on my big tv and learning how you made it happen, the video, not the Aurora 😜 - Also, loving the the score by John Frame. It’s full of energy and a great companion to your film! Congrats!!!
Thank you for watching - happy you liked it! And yes, John's music works so wonderfully well with the clips :)
Thanks Jen! Yeah David's a wizard with Timelapse!
So wonderful! Thank you....
Thank you!

Thank you!
Truly inspirational video. I am all set on yer trip in 2023. Thank you for sharing it. Hope to do it with my son.
Thx! Good luck & have the best timer ever!
It is on my bucket list to travel to Baffin Island. How did you prepare for polar bear encounters ?
The risk of polar bear encounters where we hiked was pretty well zero
Great video, David. Glad this showed up in my recommended today. Hope to make it out there with my dad someday soon.
Thanks Thomas! Hope you make it there too - it's such a special place! We hope to also make a return trip there!
I had the pleasure of going here, just past windy years ago. I'm excited to head back one day. Thank you for sharing this! It's such a beautiful experience!
Great that you've been there & hope you get back there again! Such a wonderful place - I too hope to visit this amazing place again. Cheers!
Great job with the video. It seems you guys had some really good weather, much better than what's shown in most trip videos I've seen. Nice job capturing the hike. So are you making it back this summer as hoped? We will be there in August 2020.
Thx Steve - no complaints on the weather :) I almost was going to make it back there next month but then 2 recent trips to Chile ... and now limited funds. But it's on the radar for 2020. All the best for your trip!
Very heartwarming video and awe inspiring views
Much appreciated! It truly is an awe inspiring place :)
That looked great guys. I really hope to get there someday. Seems to be a logistical nightmare!
For us it was definitely worth the bit of effort required to make it happen :)
@@DavidMcColm i got to ask. How much did your pack weigh?
@@shaesmith9460 Probably just under 60lbs when I started; maybe 48 lbs at the end of the trip
@@DavidMcColm You are legendary! Great job man and beautiful art
@@shaesmith9460 thx & cheers Shae to some memorable adventures your way!
What a great video; thank you for posting! I am hoping to get up there in the next year or two and was wondering about polar bears; did the park provide any warnings or recommend ways to avoid them?
Thx Joel - yes, Parks Cda makes us do a mandatory orientation where the topic of polar bears is addressed. That said, it's more of an issue if you're entering the trail from the north end! Supposedly it's not likely a polar bear would be on the part of the Akshayuk we hiked on. Hope you get a chance to visit this area!
@@DavidMcColm Thank you for the info; most appreciated!
That looked like the trip of a lifetime. Would love to know what it costs all told. And, are the huts for staying in or? Looks amazing that place.
The biggest expenses the flights, hotel accommodation in Pangnirtung, ... we did the whole trip for less than $4k I believe. And no the huts are not for staying in - just for emergency use.
Thank you for showing my beautiful Pangnirtung and seeing my “brother” Peter Kilabuk. After living in Pang 1960 as a child with my family it has remained with me all my life. I had only one trip back in 2003 after 40 yrs and received a warm, loving welcome . Although staying in contact with my Inuit friends, but to the Kilabuk family they are more brothers and sisters . Miss them and Pang very much
Hi Kathleen - I'm glad you enjoyed seeing Pang & Peter. From the brief time we were there I can see why Pang & the Kilabuk family hold a special place in your heart. Hope you're able to get back again at some point. Best, David
This is so cool to watch... and I've only watched part of it.
Thx - great to hear!
Beautiful Short Story ! Thank You For Sharing That Magical Place & Time !!
Thx & my pleasure :)
Wow! Beautiful!!!
Awesome! Which camera do you use? How many hours did this take?
Wow! Always amazed at your photography and videos! Have you ever thought about sharing some of your techniques? I would love to see how you make these videos ;-)
