Luckily for me, I live near one of the most photogenic places in the world - Niagara Falls. This video is a compilation of some timelapse shots I took over three separate nights in the city.

Valdas Kotovas 5 months ago

Excellent !! One of the best.... ! What interval was a time lapse ? Water look so good ( is it 1 sec. ? )
Thank you for sharing .
Matthew Wartman 5 months ago

Thanks for the comment! The wide angle shots of the falls have different intervals ranging from 2-3 seconds, while the close up shots have a 1 second interval.

Nice shooting Matthew. That's a fully automated camera is it? I mean, you set the exposure time etc and can multiple shoot?
Matthew Wartman 5 months ago

Thanks, the D90's automation function is limited to only 9 shots, so I used a 3rd party intervalometer called a Pclix to program the shooting intervals.
Elisabeth Robson 5 months ago

so this is a program you can load directly on your camera? or you hook up your camera to the computer and run it on the computer? Thanks
coyotl 5 months ago

Elizabeth, it's not hard to google 'Pclix'... and that will lead you to pclix.com/
chris beddoe 4 months ago

I was wondering how it was done too. Great video.
MacLo 3 days ago

You know if for the Nikon D5000 the pclix is usable?
Scott Blanks 5 months ago

I love this, the music and the photography. Did you do anything to the shots in post?
Matthew Wartman 5 months ago

Thanks for the comment. The shot at 0:19 had the tilt-shift effect done in photoshop. Other than that, no other post work.
the skinny 5 months ago

i've seen that done on photography, but this was my first view on video. very stunning!
HK Connect 5 months ago

Stephen, you should check out Keith Loutit's work on tilt-shift with video - this has a similar feel - his work is on Vimeo too.
Am loving this style - great job Matthew!
MacLo 3 days ago

you have postprocessed every frame with photoshop for obtain the tiltshift, or have created an automatism (or a plugin) ?

Amazing! I really liked the fireworks and the driving shots. How did you shoot the footages in the car?
Matthew Wartman 5 months ago

Thank you. I made a rig by strapping my tripod to the roof of my car with a winch, and used a haze filter to protect the lens from bugs or other road debris.

Great video! Inspires me to do some more night timelapses myself.

I actually got to control the lights one time I went over there as a kid. My cousin's friend worked the lights and we got to switch the colors and stuff around it was awesome! :P

That was amazing! Do they always light up the falls? Or was that special for the 4th of July?
Matthew Wartman 5 months ago

Thanks for the comment, The falls are lit up every night, and there are fireworks every friday and sunday this summer. There aren't too many places in the world where you can witness a fireworks display twice a week. I'm sure there was a special on the 4th of July, but the photos in this video were all captured in June.

never been there at night. it is so beautiful at night. I like the time lapse aspect of the video. It captures the essence of the 3 days as a 'moment'.
