Chester Creek Park, Duluth-timelapse

What was supposed to be a cloudy day in Duluth, MN turned out to be quite sunny. This shoot was going to be a challenge and it was a tough one. The park has multiple beautiful waterfalls along the hiking trail making choosing the right ones a difficult choice. I needed to narrow it down to create one watchable video that wasn't too long. The last time I visited the park, I ended up with 4 videos of all of the falls. I spent a great deal of time on the last falls because of the fantastic gorge that surrounds it, but due to the sun popping in and out during the exposure time, it caused way too much flicker in the final video to use.

The final shot includes a guy I met while I was there. His name is Anthony and I thank him for his company and his participation in my video.

Hidden Falls-Nerstrand Big Woods State Park time lapse

I have visited this waterfall twice before but fate was not on my side on those two visits due to the forces of nature (frozen, beaver dam, camera malfunctioning). This time the cloudy, rainy weather would be my friend. Due to a severe storm in July, there had been a tragic amount of damage to the trees and the surrounding area. One of those trees is still hanging and broken over the waterfall making capturing the waterfall quite a challenge. The park was filled with visitors enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Glen Park waterfall time lapse River Falls WI.

I have visited this waterfall previously on many different occasions. It's located in River Falls, WI at Glen Park right under the swing bridge crossing the South Fork River. The last time was I here was in the winter when I first started out doing time lapse work where I met a really nice lady named Tami. 

I arrived early in the morning with an almost perfect cloud cover. The sounds, smell and the feel of the falls were refreshing my senses; something I dearly needed. I spent most of the morning without seeing many people at the falls, another good thing. I tried something different this time by moving my myself parallel with the falls for series of shots, but always centering the frame in the same location.
