Videos like this are what make me lust after a 'pocket dolly' something evil.

nice video, some great scenes in it, but some very un-interesting ones too.

best bit the church and valcanic vent, worst bit, panning up a fence and the lake

See, I'd disagree.  I thought the hay-turner wheel on the fence was cool.  Those were some pretty mighty landscapes.  I could spend a lot of time looking for details in the shots - deer grazing, birds coming in and out - stuff like that.

that's interesting as I found the hay-turner simply just a way to animate the image as in to prevent the video being a slide show, for my there wasn't really enough going on and given the sun's non-changing possition quite a few of the scenes could have simply been static photos.  If you compare say your ferry time lapse, you've got something interesting a worth animating, where as some of that was just panning past something in the foreground whilst the clouds rolled, could easily have been a slide show of fantastic landscape photos  :undecided:

Sometimes the devil's in the detail on timelapse - easiest way to make a gorgeous landscape more impressive IMO is to lapse it over a few hours and stick the camera on a slider over that time, because you can add so much to the 'image' you're seeing.

That said this does mean timelapse is in danger of becoming the prog-rock of photography - something people put many years into to make something stunningly dull and only of interest to anoraks.  :grin:

Watching Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in the cinema recently I got the distinct impression that was a film-maker's film, not an entertainment film.
