Time flies!!!

Postby videovillageidiot » Mon Jun 15, 2015 7:57 pm

Woweee...it's been 11 months today since I flew off to Alaska for vacation. Wish I could do it all over again.

Here are a few minutes from the flight to Anchorage...it may lull you to sleep - but i find the scenery so beautiful i sometimes have to remind myself to blink! See what you think...

Wow! Those snow-capped mountains make me hungry for lemon meringue pie!

Very surreal. The scope of those mountains is deceiving from those heights. I enjoyed picking out the glacier from a distance and then seeing it much closer up a minute later. Just incredible footage. Thanks for sharing! :yh:

Nice footage. Almost seems like it is from an alien moon orbiting Jupiter. My first thought is what it must to have felt like to have to travel in that kind of weather.

Many years ago i flew over the Rocky Mountains and thought they looked like arthritic knuckles. Kinda' depressing to associate arthritis with my beloved mountains...pie is so much better! Or maybe Baked Alaska? haha

You're welcome Dave! I was amazed at how quickly the plane moved over the landscape. It was all so beautiful it was hard to decide where to point the camera!

Very nice filming. How did you manage to hold the camera that steady?
I was on an Alaska cruise 10 years ago today. We started out from Vancouver and took the inside passage to Juneau, Skagway, along the Hubbard Glacier to Ketchikan and back to Vancouver.
We had the whole family onboard, 20 people total.
I guess, I should sit down and get all that video footage I have finally edited and make a 10 year anniversary edition. :roll: :cool:
Thanks for showing your footage and thanks for giving me an idea. :-D

I agree, very surreal. Your video captured just how rugged the terrain is from the dense forests to the mountains everywhere. Thanks for sharing! :TU:

Beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing! I would love to visit Alaska, maybe someday I'll get there.

Seemed like a lot of the footage had a blue tint. I wonder if white balancing on the clouds would make the colors pop?

Thanks Gerlinde...haven't had time to respond sooner - computer and car problems and planning and taking a trip! Whew!

The steadiness came from using portions of a PVC stabilizer (there was a thread on this a couple of years ago). i brought several small sections with me and configured as needed for each situation. i was very pleased with how steady it turned out!

i loved seeing families on the cruise - what a great way to spend time together! You should absolutely work on the old footage and maybe make plans for a new trip to Alaska!

hmmmmm...muvipix meetup perhaps?

Glad you liked it. i was so glad the weather allowed a great view on our flight!

i highly recommend it...if you can go on short notice, princess offers some dramatically reduced fares in early spring.

Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke John :CS:

Father Christmas, the Yeti and Sarah Palin walked into a bar ....

Which then reminds me of this, Chuck...

A preacher, a rabbi, and a priest walk into a bar, and the bartender says...

"Is this some kind of joke?"
