    If you don't know who Chris McCandless is, see here for more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_McCandless And if you'd like to see the bus that was used in the movie "Into the Wild", I made a video about it the last time I was in Alaska. Be warned though, I was talking really fast for some reason: ua-cam.com/video/-tXeM7bkviM/v-deo.html

      Chris' dad was a brilliant man. Fun fact he invented synthetic aperature radar! We use those fundamentals in all kinds of telecommunications and scientific measurements now.

    The title of this video is very appropriate . Yes this is why I want to visit Alaska , I mean look at the gorgeous scenery . Walking all that distance on the frozen lake in the clean fresh snow , surrounded by jagged mountains was worth every effort .

    Many visitors venture to Alaska to see the jaw-dropping scenery of unspoiled nature, majestic mountains, glaciers, fjords, crystal clear lakes, waterfalls and the National Parks. Alaska has some of the world's most scenic highways like the Seward Highway or Denali Park Road perfect for an unforgettable road trip.

  • @JumpingPlaces
    @JumpingPlaces 4 роки тому +7

    The cameras actually seem extremely similar but I think in this instance the colors looked nicer and more vibrant on the gopro and the mountains looked a bit more faded on the DJI. The moment you switch to the gopro the skies look a nicer shade of blue, although in other scenarios the gopro can look over saturated when using the color mode especially in very green nature scenes.

    What a gorgeous blue sky and winter sun. You don't get such gorgeous days in winter over here in the NE that often. Chris McCandless was inspiring in some ways and utterly reckless and naïve in others.

    Didn't know you had such a deep connection to that area, understand why you went there now. Hard to beat the clean pure winter scenes and the serenity that scene offers..where all you hear at times are the crunching of snow and your breath. Good time also as the bears are sleeping ;>0 Built many snow forts in MN growing up..miss riding snowmobile 90 mph across a lake a real thrill! Nothing beats a woodstove heat also, it warms into your very soul. Be safe...

    The GoPro7 wider angle makes the natural landscape look more dramatic, grain quality is decent, and the change in contrast when you go into silhouette to direct sunlight back into silhouette is smoother, less jarring than your other camera.

    Go over to Douglas and down to Sandy beach and then out north Douglas to outer point and then up eaglecreast to the ski lodge. The mendihal glacier has reseated back quite a bit. Back in 82 it was up around that big rock across the lake from the mendihal visitor center. Maybe a quick picture of Harris and Aroura harbors to and lemon creek glacier up on the hill back in lemon creek valley

    Hi Gabriel, It's a very scenic experience there in Glacier National park it seems the Gopro picks up the actual surroundings better overall and the sound seems more natural where towards the end of the video it starts to shake a bit, and the sound quality isn't quite the same and of course there's always the factor of lighting after a while you would have to calibrate the camera according to what you're viewing and hearing.

    Seems that there are far richer colours with the GoPro7, perhaps borderline "artificial" looking compared to the DJI, but I don't think that's a bad thing (I also have the 7, I love it) - maybe you mentioned it in another video, but I wonder why you wanted something other than the GoPro7, or was it just to keep up with the latest gear? Absolutely perfect day with those clear skies, whatever camera.

  • @michellehiggs60
    @michellehiggs60 3 роки тому

    Skin tones look better on the DJI. They don’t look natural on the GoPro so in bright sun it’s definitely the osmo action. But both are good little cameras.
