Thousands of people arrive at Glastonbury through Pedestrian Gate C, passing through Theatre and Circus on their way to make camp. Here's the scene captured in timelapse on Wednesday morning last year.

A #SomersetTimelapse: we all (or most of us) know about the epic #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis display the night of May 10, 2024. It even reached us here in the south of the UK. I rushed out with as much gear as I could carry, and this little clip is the result (I’m not a very experienced editor, so I hope this looks good to you. Feedback in the comments would be appreciated!).
This BDT (Big Dead Tree) has become a bit of a project for me now: I’ve used it as foreground for daytime puffy clouds sequences, sunrises, sunsets, star trails, the Milky Way, and now the Aurora Borealis. Nice.
I’ve seen the Northern Lights many times in the past (Iceland and Canada), but I never thought I’d see them in southern England! Now, when I say “see”, I have to point out that they were _barely_ visible to the naked eye (at least to mine, I know that some people could see the colours @TheFeralClock), so it really took a sensitive camera to bring out the magnificence. I had my white balance set to “sunlight”, and I haven’t done any other colour work to these clips.
I shot with 4 cameras, and I’m kicking myself I didn’t manage to bring the motion-control equipment, it would have upped the production levels. In total, I shot just under 10,000 photos. And several of those photos caught meteors from the Eta Lyrids shower (they’re in a few frames).
Cameras were #Sony A7II & Samyang 24mm f/1.4, A7RII & Samyang 12mm f/2.8 fisheye, A7IV & Laowa 15mm f/2. 4th camera was a #Nikon Z8 & Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 F-mount. The Z8 is fast becoming my very favourite camera of all time, excellent all-rounder (and really good timelapse camera).
The gorgeous music in this clip is called “Imprints (Instrumental)” by @Elskavon (elskavon.com, I think he’s hugely talented), which I licensed from Audiio.com

A #SomersetTimelapse: here I am, timelapsing the sunset behind a beautiful dead tree in an open field. A #nikonz8 is on the static tripod, and a #sonya7iv, on a ground-level #Rov slider, is 90 degrees around, to get yet another angle. It’s cold, and worth it!

A #LondonTimelapse: I was commissioned by the celebrated @annabelsmayfair to #timelapse their always epic #Christmas Façade build. I was honoured to be asked, and I was determined to take it to the next level.
Do you like the result?
Kudos to the hard-working build team: @s2eventsltd, @easyplatforms, @lfpslondon and @conference_haul_international (and others, forgive me for not finding your socials).
The design, of course, was done in-house by Annabelle’s legendary creative director and her team who, once again, have outdone themselves.
This was basically a 7-day and 6-night build, mostly overnights, and up to 18 hours in a row. And boy it was cold, and frequently raining!
I was shooting with up to 6 cameras at a time, to thoroughly cover this build.
Main camera: Sony A7RII with a Samyang 24mm f1.4 lens on a very tall tripod, to see over the heads of any passers-by & most vehicles (I bought this tripod specifically for this shoot from @londoncameraexchange, many thanks). This camera was shooting a bit from the left of the club, every 15 seconds, averaging 3000-4000 shots daily.
Secondary camera: Sony A7II, with Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens, usually at 14mm. Unfortunately, there was an overhanging tree from inside Berkeley Square, blocking most of this camera’s view. So I only used a bit of its footage in the final movie. To get a clear view with this camera, I would’ve had to set it up in the way of the build team, not an option.
Motion-control: Sony A7IV on a 2m slider + moco pan-tilt head, controlled by a @blackforestmotion #PineII. I usually ran it for only an hour or so each time in different positions, at intervals between 1.1 seconds and 5 seconds. I used an array of lenses on it:
-Samyang 12mm f/2.8 fisheye
-Laowa 15mm f/2
-Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8
-Nikon 16-35mm f/4
Closeups: Nikon D750 with a Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8. Next time I’ll bring a 70-200 lens, for closer closeups.
Aerial views: DJI Pocket 2 camera with wide-angle adaptor, set atop a 3m tall lighting stand.
Cherry-picker basket camera: a gopro clone.
Total frames shot: 119,218 raw photos, adding up to a bit over 4TB. Phew!

A #LondonTimelapse: sunrise over the new “Riverside Stand” at @fulhamfc Fulham Football Club’s stadium.
Shot on my 2m slider, rising behind a rather decrepit bench, from across the river. You can see the setup in my feed 12 posts ago.

#londontimelapse timelapsing the trains going in and out of Victoria station, with #BatterseaPowerStation in the distance. Lovely #sunset, at last! (This is my 5th attempt, phew).

A #LondonTimelapse: Here is #TheO2 @TheO2London at sunset, featuring the #MeridianLaser emitting from #RoyalObservatoryGreenwich. The laser is perfectly aligned with the #PrimeMeridian (marking, naturally, #GreenwichMeanTime, aka #GMT).
I’ve been wanting to shoot the a #holygrail (day to night) timelapse of this laser for several years now, but my first try was a bust (whatever you do, don’t use a polariser when shooting this particular laser!). By the time I could make it to that part of London again, it wasn’t running, and didn’t seem to be running for a very long while. I almost lost heart, but it’s working again, yay!
I knew it was back on because I spotted a post on Reddit by u/shimonlemangne of this scene, and they _very_ kindly told me from where they took it (on the river, in front of the @RadissonBluEdwardian hotel). A quick call to the hotel, and a very kind person there confirmed that the walkway against the river was public (if not very wide!). Note: if you’re going to shoot there, be aware that it’s quite secluded.
About the laser, from http://www.thegreenwichmeridian.org/tgm/articles.php?article=14 “Titled 0 Degrees, and the work of artists Peter Fink and Anne Bean, the laser was ‘unveiled’ on 1 May 1993”. And from https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/blog/aligning-greenwich-laser “…it’s a Millennia VS Diode-Pumped, cw Visible Laser. It has a wavelength of 532 nm and an output power > 5W. The laser unit is located beneath the Airy Transit Circle and ‘fired’ along the Meridian from above via a fibre optic…”

A #LondonTimelapse: it was a lovely, if very cold, day, so I went out to tick an item off my bucket list, and timelapse a new view of a classic London landmark: #StPaulsCathedral in the “recently” completed reflecting pool on the other side of New Change.
It’s a beautiful garden, and the pool is perfectly designed to show St. Paul’s at its best. Too bad the London traffic, and other visitors to the garden, didn’t stay out of my way for a few hours (ha ha). By the way: kudos to the security staff of the building on site (behind my shooting position): very friendly and helpful. A genuine rarity in London.
While I was shooting, numerous tourists and Londoners also stopped by to take photos of this view. Most stood up normally, and that is definitely not the way to get good reflections! I had my camera, with 14-24mm lens at 14mm, sitting right on the wall of the pool (not even on a tiny tripod), as close to water-level as possible. I only propped the lens up a few degrees with a lens cap underneath its front. You gotta get close to the water to get the best reflections (which I did mention to most of the other visitors :-)
I did, by the way, consider reflecting the top view artificially in post-production, as the occasional wind across the water does make the pool look a little visually weird at points, but, well, that’s just not the way I roll :-)
