The sun is barely going below the horizon before coming up again. This is the most colorful light that I know, and the main reason I have been going up there for the last 4 years, at the exact<br /> same time of year, to photograph. Based on previous experience, I knew this was going to be a very<br /> difficult trip. Having lost a couple of cameras and some other equipment up there before, it was crucial to bring an extra set of everything. I also<br /> made sure I had plenty of time in case something went wrong.<br /> If you can imagine roping down mountain cliffs, or jumping around on slippery rocks covered in seaweed with 2 tripods, a rail, a controller,<br /> camera, lenses, filters and rigging for 4-5 hour long sequences at a time, and then<br /> having to calculate the rise and fall of the tides in order to capture the essence - it all prved bit of a challenge.<br /> <br /> And almost as if planned, the trip would turn out to become very<br /> difficult indeed. I had numerous setbacks including: airline lost my<br /> luggage, struggling to swim ashore after falling into the Arctic sea: twice, breaking lenses, filters, tripod, computer, losing the whole dolly rig and controller into the sea, and even falling off a rather tall rock and ending<br /> up in the hospital. As much as I wanted to give up, the best way Out is<br /> always “Through”. I am glad I stuck it through though because there were some amazing sunrises waiting. At 1:06 you see a single scene from day to night to day.<br /> <br /> I asked the very talented Marika Takeuchi to specifically compose and<br /> perform a song for this movie, and what she came up with is absolutely remarkable. Thank you very much Marika!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Available in Digital Cinema 4k<br /> <br /> Like my Facebook Page for updates <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TSOPhotography">http://www.facebook.com/TSOPhotography</a><br /> Follow me on <a href="http://twitter.com/TSOPhotography">http://twitter.com/TSOPhotography</a><br /> Press/licensing/projects contact: terjes@gmail.com<br /> <br /> Music: "The Arctic Light" by Marika Takeuchi<br /> <a href="http://on.fb.me/kOezbO">http://on.fb.me/kOezbO</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/01/arctic-light-time-lapse-video_n_869054.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/01/arctic-light-time-lapse-video_n_869054.html</a><br /> <br /> Thank you to my sponsors:<br /> <a href="http://www.canon.com/">http://www.canon.com/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.g-technology.com/">http://www.g-technology.com/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.dynamicperception.com/">http://www.dynamicperception.com/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.fstopgear.com/">http://www.fstopgear.com/</a><br /> and to my friend Geir Nøtnes for all the help.
