May 2024 Aurora Borealis in Gray, Maine USA
A G5 Solar Storm pelted the earth with particles that lit up the night sky all over the globe. I've seen Aurora in North Dakota, in Iceland and on a plane, but never like this right in our own backyard. What an epic night!

Aurora Timelapse May 2024

A G5 storm hit planet earth on May 10th and it made for epic photos and videos of Aurora Borealis. We sought out a hillside close to our home in Southern Maine, USA and had the experience of a lifetime. These Timelapse's do NOT do it justice. And yes, it looked very much like this to the naked eye!

We were unable to go to an area of totality so instead set up on the hill behind our house. I put the camera on the tripod, set it to video mode and pushed play. I then sped up 30 minutes of video into 1 minute and here it is. 97.2% Totality. Very cool.

In April we experienced our third power outage in three weeks. This April storm left us 18 " of heavy wet snow. With the snow clinging to the trees it was beautiful but led to 34 hours without power. Fortunately we have a generator and a wood stove so for us it was merely an inconvenience. And thanks to Brandon Moon of Moon Excavations, our driveway was cleared and as the temperatures rose, the...

    Devil's den was changed by last December's big rain storm. The road washed out all the way down to bedrock and most of it washed into the old dry channel. There's a big pile of rocks at the bottom of the old waterfall and some new gravel bars.

      Well that is not an easy answer but… I use UA-cam Studio. I listen to different tracks, look at the length and the tempo and just pick what seems to fit to me. I’ve gotten better at matching clip changes with music beats since this video. Most of the music on UA-cam Studio doesn’t require attribution, some does under the Creative Commons licensing, but I always try to give the musicians credit when I use their songs. Hope this helps.

    • @stevefoster1511
      @stevefoster1511 Рік тому

      You know Bob, that's a great question and one I hadn't thought about. I would say the exposure to falls is pretty equal. The up and down on this one is much more significant. The length is not comparable with the Knife Edge being much longer. I would say overall, Angel's Landing is more risky, more CROWDED and over all more thrilling. The Knife Edge, as you know, is spectacular in its own way and much more grueling to make it across.

    • @stevefoster1511
      @stevefoster1511 Рік тому

      Thanks Debbie. We've made travel and adventures a priority and make the "sacrifices" necessary to do so. I use a combination of cameras. Two GoPros, although in this video it was my GoPro Hero 7. I also have and use a GoPro Hero 9, which I don't like as well as the 7. The "good" still photos are with my Nikon D810. The other stills are with the same GoPro or with my iPhone 12. (Some of the videos are with my iPhone as well). And then, of course, there are the drone shots, which in this case is with my "travel" drone, the small Autel Nano+ It's funny though because I find myself using my iPhone more and more for both stills and video. Crazy. Hope you are well. Like you, I miss softball.

    • @stevefoster1511
      @stevefoster1511 Рік тому

      Thanks for reaching out. I SO love Iceland and I frequently say, "I could live there." And yes, I've been in all four seasons! Winter, ie. December, in Iceland offers so many unique opportunities. This is, in large part, due to the fact that so many fewer people are there. It also presents many unique challenges, foremost being the weather and the lack of day light. Plan to do your traveling in the dark because in December it gets light around 9am and gets dark about 3pm. Now, of course, you'll be seeking that elusive green lady; Aurora. She is fickle and you must have some luck with regard to clear skies, but be ready. Luck is where opportunity intersects with preparation. Be prepared with proper clothing. Okay, enough, you didn't ask for advice but rather places to go. I say, rent a car. If you can afford a 4x4 it's worth it. Note you'll pay a premium $$$$ if you can't drive a manual transmission. Use a tour company to get you onto a glacier and into an ice cave. Places. The Golden Circle is worth the ride and is well travelled and well maintained. Go South Iceland. Get a tourguide to snowmobile or four-wheeler ride uo to the volcano. Go to Jokusarlon and "Diamond Beach." If you have time, go North. Go to Akureyri. Go to the Myvatn Nature Baths. Go to Godafoss. Go to the thermal pools and swim outside in the snow. Sky Lagoon in Reykjavik is awesome and there are others that are SO worth it. The Blue Lagoon IMO is NOT! Enjoy. I'm jealous.

      I found flying the second day to be better than the first; in part because part of the flying in the second video was automated in a mode called Active Track. I had to edit a lot to remove the times I flew left when I wanted to go right and other times when I looked down at the monitor and found I was no where near the river. It was challenging for sure.
