Mr. Halverson... thank you so much for this. Since I found this ages ago on your web site.. I've marveled at it. Every time I see it.. It nearly brings me to tears... Makes me think... "Damn.. we're so small... ". Thank you again.. Genuine best wishes in all of your endeavors..
Thank you for posting . I used to love looking at the stars at night . you are lucky to see them. For 3 years stars can no longer be seen in Liverpool UK due to heavy chem trails. Sad isn't it? We just see the moon on a clear night!
This is a truly amazing video. I don't understand the 10+ dislikes. How could anyone dislike this. Not appreciate it. Everything, the storms, the slow moving the sunsets and sunrises - it's extremely well done. Astounding footage. I would love to learn how to this and make a similar video.
Im seriously and totally speechless. Ive watched this over and over and still feel just as amazed as the first time. To think each one of those millions of stars is the same or bigger than the sun, has its own planets, not to mention the dark stars and planets we cant see. Thats only part of the galaxy we can see in the video, the billions of more stars in our galaxy, and the millions of galaxys as well, some bigger some smaller. Astronomy is my favorite. It blows me away how awesome god is!
@dakotalapse thank you very much for your answer so fast! so the persistent train look like star, that's just a small spot for mor than 2hours. very good job, that's like dream see the stars like this, and the music is just amazing, thank you for put that in youtube
If you zoom in on the stills, the stars will be slightly streaking, but hard to notice unless you zoom in. I am not tracking the stars, just moving the camera. I was shooting much of this at 11mm on a cropped sensor, or 16mm on full frame.
Your videos definitely deserve awards! It wakes us up and makes us realize how beautiful the universe we live in is. We are so busy with trivial things, if we only take the time to look at the heavens it puts everything into perspective. Glad you got the award!
I have a question: I love this video and I have never tried to do one like this ! I have a Nikon D90, a 35mm 1.8 and a 105mm 2.8 I also have a tripod, a Manfrotto with a head. I think I need some dark places where the pictures won't be overexposed, right? And with an exposure of 30 seconds the stars should be arcs and not dots. How did you take so "still" pictures with a long exposure? Thanks and sorry for my English, I'm Italian !
Seriously impressed! How did you manage to get the grass/house AND the stars correctly exposed? That kind of range would have called for a smaller aperture and long exposure yet there is little (if any) star trails. Also how were you able to achieve that movement between frames? Either way, super work and thanks for posting.
Dude that's amazing, every time I see this kind of pictures of milky way, but I really want to know ho do you do to have this resolution of teh milky way?? do you use a telescope? or a camera?? or is just a photomontage of the milky way??? please tell me how i can get that kind of pictures.. I love your video!
dakotalapse, I see you mentioned that you used Tokina 11-16mm for this video. I am having a hard time deciding if I should get Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 or Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6. Can you please share me your experience when you were deciding? I am not sure how important the extra 1mm is. Thanks. Great video!!!
DUH! Ive just read the description where you give all the details. At least I know I'm doing the right things. Don't have a dolly though but best concentrate on getting stuff right with a tripod first. (and getting in to the habit of reading stuff under my nose).
Dakotalapse, I love your work. I am curious what camera and lens are you using? I saw one post where you said you were only using 15 to 30 second exposures. What aperture where you at? I tried this level of exposure and many different f stops and only got little light specks. Your work is phenomenal!
I'm just learning on how to do time lapse and you inspire me to do alot more, but i have to ask, what exposure setting do you have the camera on when it's daylight then transition to night time? Does your remote change the exposure as it gets darker? I find that really interesting on how you do that. :)
I got a question.. Im no photographer but i like your videos ! how do you do this? do you put your camera down and leave it for 2-3 hours then come back? and how you make the camera move like at 00:35 ? Thanks :)
hey dakotalapse, im going to the lofoten islands this 14th jan to start my first time-lapse photography experience, i'd like to ask what wud be the time interval between each subsequent shots as well as the white balance u used? also, i shud be fine using your aperture and exposure setting right? from my past experience when i took still pictures of milkyway, it was quite hard to get a dark skyback ground if i put it to say 15seconds time exposure. thanks for your advice yeah :) happy new year
Thank you for making The Dance visible. So awe-inspiring. I love the view from the fields, the crops, wildflowers & the old abandoned homestead.
Something so comforting about watching our galaxy dance through the sky like that....and put to this music....love love love this
Wow,that is what i am looking for, thank you so much. Love all your music
Mr. Halverson... thank you so much for this. Since I found this ages ago on your web site.. I've marveled at it. Every time I see it.. It nearly brings me to tears... Makes me think... "Damn.. we're so small... ". Thank you again.. Genuine best wishes in all of your endeavors..
Fantastic. I just keep watching this again and again.

Sure- because of Chemtrails, and not because of the light pollution in big cities. :'D
i just like how the storms come and the lightnings and all.. amazing.. just amazing!
This is a truly amazing video. I don't understand the 10+ dislikes. How could anyone dislike this. Not appreciate it.
Everything, the storms, the slow moving the sunsets and sunrises - it's extremely well done.
Astounding footage. I would love to learn how to this and make a similar video.
Such amazing vision you have~ incredible drama and subtle beauty in perfect balance. Congratulations and thank you so much!
That's definitely one of the coolest time lapses I've ever seen!!
The most beautiful thing I have seen in a while, if I could have these views of the sky every night, i would be the happiest soul alive
Thank you for giving opportunity observe better an everynight miracle.
Great filming.
This is very exciting video showing the "beautyfullness" of our universe! Masterpiece!
Im seriously and totally speechless. Ive watched this over and over and still feel just as amazed as the first time.

I really enjoy your videos! It's very overwhelming! Keep up that work!
I cant describe how beautiful this video is.... this is one of the reasons I teach Astronomy :)

Saw the deer at 1:57. Love your stuff.
It isn't fast forwarded, it is long (15-30 seconds each) single exposures edited together into a video.
Awsome! Totally stunning! Thank you!!!!
Awesome. I love you milky way.
astonishing visuals

now did u have some field lights in some clips? some clips with the plants and the house one especially had some un-natural looking lighting
@dakotalapse Vimeo is choppy and laggy. Thank you for posting this on youtube.
Dakotalapse, I love your work. I am curious what camera and lens are you using? I saw one post where you said you were only using 15 to 30 second exposures. What aperture where you at? I tried this level of exposure and many different f stops and only got little light specks. Your work is phenomenal!
stunning. well done!
How did you manage to capture such a huge depth of field with such a large aperture? Amazing work by the way.
Very nice video, but is that a deer at 1:57 where the orange is on the middle-left of the screen, then it disappears few seconds later?
@rafairobert It is on Vimeo, vimeo.com/dakotalapse/tempest
Some people want UA-cam, so I post it on both sites.
FIVE THUMBS UP AWARD WINNER !!!
Were all the Milky Way shots 5D II? They looked pretty clean.
Watching this video makes me feel insignificant for the universe
Wonderful video!
@dakotalapse Thank you , forgot to check the description:d . Good luck with your next projects !

I wonder if your Canon 60 or T2I can record this using the video mode rather than still if you had a f1.2 lens at iso 6400 at 1/25 shutter speed?
so beautiful.
I want to live wherever this is sooo badly
Does Andromeda come up in any of these ... that you know of
awesome incredible you let me shocked congratulations from mexico
Fantástico , lindo!!!!!!!!!!
how far from a major city would you have to be to get shots like this without light polution getting in the way?
How long does it take to finish a video start to finish? I love these videos, they are absolutely beautiful.
its at like 159 but wow how did u pic that out...good eyes..but yea perfect it looks amazing.i love the views
AMAZIIIIING!!!!!
Yes, the cameras were picked up, right before the storms hit!
Really nice video!!!
this is amazing
Rural central South Dakota. It wasn't shot in or near a city.
beautiful!
Simplemente maravilloso!
Freaken awsome, love the music :-]
@mohammeddavis No Photoshop, it's much easier to set up a camera on a dolly and do 30 second exposures for 4 hours, than it would be to cgi it.
1:58. It's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Well...maybe just a deer.
Did you use special lens or filter to get a "clear" milky way like this?
where must i go to watch this? is it there a especial time to do so?? can you tell me please?
How far apart are each of the exposures in time? Im trying to do a timelapse but dont know how long the intervals are :c
Which things did you use for this smooth movings?
thank you. Big difference. nice work!
Amazing !
Yea, the meteor is in my Temporal Distortion video, as far as I can tell, it is a strange slow moving satellite.
