Fresh snowfall overnight, crystal clear air and cloudless skies made for a spectacular view of the Olympic Mountains as the rising sun painted the snowy mountains pink during this final day of Winter in 2018. I captured time-lapse video through our picture window with my iPhone while taking a series of panoramic photos outdoors on the front porch with my Nikon DSLR mounted on a tripod, then I combined the results in this short video. For photo buffs, this is the camera settings I used to shoot the panorama still images: ISO 800-200 based on the changing light level, manual focus at infinity, Aperture priority at F-8, and zoom lens at the maximum 120mm. I imported the digital still images into Photoshop CC and applied the Automatic-Photomerge tool to automatically assemble and blend the series of still images, which I took moving my fluid-head tripod from left to right and overlapping each scene roughly by a third. The resulting very large and long panoramic images don’t show up well full length in an HD video, so I spit the screen in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, placing the colorful sunrise panorama image on top and the full morning sun panorama image on the bottom. Next, I sized the two images keeping the mountains large so that you could appreciate the detail. Resizing the two images so the mountains were about the same size, and synchronizing the left to right motion took me several hours! It isn’t perfect, but it is fun to watch! Finally, I added a royalty free music clip from the YouTube library. I hope this does justice to this magical moment!
