Over the past couple of weeks Doug Underwood and I captured some drone footage of the David Dunlap Observatory using our Phantom 3 drones.  Many of the shots were taken by Doug (the more experienced drone pilot) but I was able to contribute some shots as well.  Flying the Phantom 3 is a lot of fun and the video you can get with it is really quite amazing.

One of my goals this summer was to learn how to do time lapse videos.  I've always loved the aesthetic of this kind of photography and this summer I made it a point to learn how to do it properly.  In the past I did a bit of time lapse (using the cheat method) by speeding up video.  This, however, did not have the aesthetic possibilities (for example dragging the shutter) of taking one photo at a time and then compiling the photos into a video.

This was my first visit to the new Ripley's Aquarium.  This was a family visit, so didn't really have a lot of opportunity to do serious photography and videography.  Regardless, I did manage to get some material which I compiled into the following video.

This was a very quick edit using Adobe Premiere CS6.  The camera used to shoot the video was the Panasonic GH1.

I hope you enjoy the result.
