DREAMLAPSE JAPAN 3

One last Japan adventure for the final chapter of my Dreamlapse timelapse trilogy. With over 35,000 photos snapped, this exhausting three week trek in the Fall of 2024 included Fukuoka, Nara, Osaka, Fushimi, Itoshima, Kyoto, and Kobe. Shot with Canon 6D. Lenses Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L, Rokinon 12mm f2.8, Canon EF 24-105mm. The street light painting or “street stacking” effect was done with long exposure images stacked using StarStax, a program I usually use to create star trail images for night sky work for https://SkyglowProject.com.

  1. Nice, are you using screen to overlap the light streaks? And the fading them?
    If not, I'd love to know how

  2. Great job. Lovely. It looks like you are doing long exposures while panning the camera, but you didn't use an automated slider/pan kind of thing? Wow. I think I would have trouble and would move the camera too much for a smooth flow.

  3. I can't imagine the insane amount of work this must have taken! Congrats on the amazing, enchanting result!

  4. What an absolutely amazing video you've created! Well done. It makes me want to go back to Japan again soon.

  5. This is Gorgeous & also shows your Great Imagination & insane Senpai Patience ❤️

  6. Bonjour Gavin, Je suis du Québec et je t'ai découvert via les nouvelles a la télévision l'émission Salut Bonjour. Ils ont parler de toi et fait passé (tes photos film ) et nous informer du nombres de pas et de kilomètres et surtout de photos que tu as fait. C'est un délice pour les yeux. Je suis très très impressionnée et je suis sans mots ! C'est vraiment magnifique. Bravo Bravo Bravo
