A work >mate of mine who is also a photographer captured what is, to me, one >of the most remarkable things I have ever seen filmed. > >It is a 3 minute video clip of the full moon rising over >Wellington. It was shot 2 nights ago, on a calm summer evening, as >people gathered on the Mt. Victoria Lookout point to watch the moon rise. > >This stunning video is one single real-time shot, with no >manipulation whatsoever. The camera was placed on a hillside over 2 >kilometres from the Lookout point, and was shot with the equivalent >of a 1300mm lens. > >The amount of planning, trial and error, and luck that went into >this are mind blowing. He has been trying to capture this for over >a year with many failed attempts. But 2 nights ago it seems >everything was on his side, and it all came together in a way even >he couldn't have hoped. > >I honestly can't say enough good things about this video - from the >magnitude of the visuals, to the intimate stories playing out with >the people, to the sheer humbling nature of seeing the awe-inspiring >reality of this giant rock in the sky that we so often don't stop to >appreciate. > >One thing I encourage you to do is watch this on the biggest screen >you have - don't waste it on an iphone screen. > ><https://vimeo.com/58385453>https://vimeo.com/58385453 (sound on...!)
