This week I took a quick hike up the Stawamus Chief that overlooks the town of Squamish, BC and did some timelapse photography. The hike was enjoyable, and I went early enough it wasn’t crowded and my dog and I had the summit to ourselves for about two hours.
Here’s a 360-view I took from the top: http://360.io/AWAa2Y
The joby gorillapod was ideal for this situation, that I could hike in with a lightweight tripod and set it up where I needed it.
I wasn’t really planning on shooting this, but once I got up there and saw the logging operation with the water I had to shoot it. I just wish I had more time to spend up there to get some more footage.
Maybe some time soon, if I get back in climbing shape, I can climb up the front instead of hike up the back. Here’s a really old climbing video I made.
I also tried to get the miniature, tilt-shift look in post with the help of Magic Bullet Looks.
I recommend watching it in HD so you can see all the little detail. I didn’t even notice there were men walking around the logs until I put the photos into a timelapse.
My dog enjoyed the view while I tended to the camera.
Lucas,
Fantastic work on this time-lapse video. I shared it on squamishclimbing.com . I think a lot of people there will appreciate the effort because climbing up the front of the Chief you get a perspective of all the activity happening below you as slowly make your way to to the top. Please share or alert us to any other Squamish related videos you produce.
Thanks for sharing the video on your site. I really need to get back into climbing – see you outside
