Incredible, how did you do it? Astonoshing!!

omg! hallucinatory!!

This is quite simply inspiring. I've never played with my Nikon's intervalometer... now I know I need to give it a go!

Excellent work.

I wish your timelapses were longer. There all good, but way too short. You should try shooting at an interval of 1-2 second. Try to make a time lapse over 90 secs :)

Also I LOVE the fog movement :)

Awesome stuff! What was the music?

wants, wants, wants. Nice!

niice!

What animal was that running down the hill at the beginning lol.. ?

Remote Camera setups...

That is just awesome, I wanted more!!!!

just.....wow. Jaw dropping. It's like a Maxfield Parrish coming alive.

nice

Absolutely magnificent :)

Excellent!!!

How much shots?

Very awesome

Very nice!

wowza

superb

This is so beautiful!
Thank you for your effort in producing and posting this!

Beautiful!! But why was it flickering a bit?

Yeah!!!!!!!

Awesome technique!

I'm an HDR photomotion whore, love it.

Very nice work

Loved it, but i'd love it way more if you fixed the flickering!

Loved it :)

I heard myself WOWING !

Pretty bad ass

amazing man (Y)

brilliant.
almost surreally beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful! I love the fog!

omg I SOOOO wanna live right at the view point ..

this makes san francisco even more amazing.
i love this

This is the first HDR time lapse I'v seen. Awsome man! What was the total time here?

Man, this makes me want to be back in SF soon. Every time my wife and go we never have time to get up to Twin Peaks. Next time for sure. Beautiful video!

this is SOMETHING! really beautiful. especially beginnig when there is this blue/orange in sky and on ground. those lights and so. like it very much.

Nicely done.

So you took multiple exposures of every frame and then made a sequence out of the HDR images? That's brilliant man, very beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.

that gave me a lump in my throat to see sf again. beautiful:)

nice! i miss the view from twin peaks. and yes, it is tough getting a non-foggy view from there.

That's awesome, it looks animated!

stunning. thanks for sharing this.

Wow amazing!

Did you tweek with the colors, or is that the natural colors?

looks great. how long were you up there? must have been chilly..

wow, chad that was awesome. it would be so awesome if you would let me use that as a short b-roll establishing shot in the beginning of a student film im shooting today. i will give you full credit of course, i just think its awesome and it would work perfectly for my film.

Beautiful!!!Thanks.

Great. I really want to go there the next time I go to SF.

Wow, beautiful!

This looks amazing.

Sweet!! The HDR looks great!

Great.....

This was AMAZING Chad! Thanks for sharing.
I'm new to all this stuff and I learn from people like you..so really, thanks so much!!! :)

Way rad.

stunning to say the least!
These time lapse videos always intrigue me =)

You just gave me a great idea!!!
This is cool sh#t.
Try a longer one.

This would make a great screen saver!! Nice Job

Incredible!

awsome!

So gorgeous! I'm goming to San Fran this weekend for the first time and I cant wait after seeing this.

amazingly beautiful

awesome!!! I was there just one week ago.

Very very nice!!

omg omg!!! so great with the music! nice work! :)

You captured an amazing scene. Congratulations.

totally awesome
you really captured the magic!

Very nice, I can't wait to try that. Do you mind two questions?
- The movie is flickering a bit. It looks like there are frames with a different exposure sometimes. Do you know why is that? Have you tried to fix it?
- If you are only bracketing +/- 2EV, can't you just shot 1 RAW and generate 3 jpeg images from there? I guess the RAW has a bit broader dynamic range so it should be possible. Or load the RAW directly to Photomatix?
Thanks

Cant wait to try this out with my D700... this is AWESOME !!!

this is stunning.
how did you get to this location?
i feel like i can see my apartment in the shot.

Gods Creation!

Nice vid dude!

Excellent.

Seems the dawn of a city on Mars.
The film draws you into the screen, very good idea, nice job.

Very good text about you on the ABC News web site. Could I consider that I'm too in the dozen of guy who made HDR timelapses around the world ! Nice job and nice full bracketing timelapses !

Amazing! Awesome fog... Very beautiful...

Great job man!

Incredible!!!

sweeeeet!

Awesome footage Chad, I do a lot of Timelapse and it's nice to see it done well

FLICKER! the old digi timelapse problem, probably caused by the camera only being able to alter the exposure in 1/3 stops as the light increases.
the other problem I get with my Older and cheaper lenses is caused by the apeture leaves 'parking' in a subtly different position at each exposure because the lens stops open between frames
if you use an old manual Nikon lens and partly take it off
(just to the point where the apeture shuts down to where you have set it) the flicker will go. (if it's the lens that is causing it ) you can make it safe by drilling a hole in the rear metal surface of the lens about 5mm further round from the current hole ( the hole that the locking pin clicks into when you put the lens on)
problem is you'll then have to shoot the whole thing on manual and the pain of a 3 hour manual stop pull timelapse should not be under estimated (I've done a few)
I'm also not sure this will allow the Bracketing function that your HDR needs,
so I Reckon you need a software program that will smooth out the exposure.

a question, how do you set the exposure? is it metering off the ground?

I think you need a big heavy tripod, or some weights

this stuff should be making you some money

keep up the good work,

Phil

I love san fran!!!!!

I saw the dog run down and not come back up.
What happened lol..

I'm so jealous, this video gets over 400 views a day !!!!!
How is that even possible..
