7/10 A little soft in places. You do have to watch it full screen and at a distance.

I also said to him the same thing...

it's the first timelapse video for our tourism board. Otherwise video are different, here we filmed all the panorama from the flight and we had very positive comments.

The HDR is a bit too heavy in places for my liking, but otherwise very nice.

I likes it, nice peaceful and stunning scenery.

the sensation of "peaceful" is very important.

There is a fine balance with the saturation. If you start toning it down the impact will be lost.

a lot of people wrote...too shoort. That is the problem. We don't decide the duration of a clip but superiors say...the clip must last 2 minutes and not more. In this time you have to demonstrate "the best". Not always easy, much better doing a photo.

That's brilliant. How did you go about making this from start to finish and what devices were used?

partly with this ( of him )

and partly with the professional camera that we use at the tourism office.

and this is the "wedding trip" of Daniel and his wife from Tokyo, New Zealand, San Franciso and Hawaii. For the second part of the holiday they invite me and i began filming after 30 seconds of the video.

The exposure and saturation are all over the shop, the actual exposures needed to be slightly closer together imo, and longer, probably employing an nd filter. The composition isn't great, people and foliage moving so rapidly rarely look good, nor do choppy seas/lakes (again, longer exposures needed. I understand there's a fine line between a sharp image and a panning long exposure, but that's for the photographer to deal with, scene by scene). It's also as soft as anything. HDR can be marvelous, but as a means to expand a dynamic range, rather than as a stylistic approach (imo anyway, it's subjective).
