About time-lapses
Capturing a timelapse of a night event like the Northern Lights demands passion, stubbornness, skill, and the patience to stay awake late into the night for hours on end. It’s not always easy to know when the Northern Lights will illuminate the sky, requiring close monitoring of what is called “space weather,” as well as the weather conditions here on the surface. You must be ready when the conditions are just right!
A time-lapse involves capturing hundreds or thousands of images in continuous succession, each lasting several seconds. These images are then combined into a video using a professional video editing app. After all, what is a film but a quick succession of still frames, usually played back at around 24 frames per second?
Long hours under the night sky, surrounded by cold and stillness—sometimes wind—with a Trangia boiling water to keep me warm. The reward? Plenty of time to observe the stars and learn about the night sky, and, if the forecasts are correct, a breathtaking vision that often borders on the mystical.
The final video still involves many hours of work, from importing thousands of images to editing the video, colour correcting it, finding the right music and exporting files that, when at full resolution, take up significant space on my office’s hard drives.
However, the beauty of the final product is a testament to the hard work that went into it, and I am extremely proud of this creation, which I have named “A Child’s Dream”. Let me know what you think.
Love and light from Korpo ☺️
