The first series is from in and around the Deep Creek side of Great Smoky Mountains National Park

We ventured to Cataloochee for the first time and saw many elk as the sun was setting.

This was the first trip that we saw black bears, which was fascinating and quite interesting to watch.

Shot over a span of a few days (9/12/09 – 9/19/09) the images were shot at five second intervals, with a Nikon D70S using a 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 lense.

Edited with Final Cut Pro and music mixed with Soundtrack Pro.

The images were shot at five second intervals from 6:22am to 12:08pm, stopping only to change batteries in the camera.

You’ll notice at some point, lots of dust spots on the lense . . . I tried to clone out the spots, but syncing the clone area over 4,000+ images proved to be a pain.

The original image dimensions (3024×1998) were cropped down to a 16×9 dimension and then output at 960×540 for video format.

The locations represented in these images are The Canoe Creek Birding Trail, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Everglades National Park.

These are some of my favorite images of the birds we’ve seen over the past couple of years.
