ADVENTURE TRAVEL ENTHUSIASTS DEDICATED TO OVERLAND EXPLORATION

PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO
Vincent Urban - In Russia
One of my favorite videographers and movie short story tellers is German born, Vincent Urban.
Urban is best known for his series of video shorts you can find on Vimeo, YouTube and Slim called, “In …” Where “…” represents any random country name. Vincent has done many projects including a small project he has produced for Lufthansa Airlines call #LifeChangingPlaces.
By far, my favorite In … episode is “In Russia” Where he captures a very frosty “Cold War” feel in the beginning of the short and warms it up a bit towards the end with the Russian people opening up with a sense of humanity and a genuine smile. Check it out!

I thought I would share this here. Good information about capturing your overland adventures on film. Take a look and would love to hear about your equipment.
Astrophotography
When I was down in the Owyhee Canyonlands a few weeks ago, I set up my Canon 70D with 50mm lens and booted up Backyard EOS, a Windows based camera intervalometer that wakes the camera up and executes a planned series of exposures while the photographer is sleeping.. these shots were on a moonlit night, not ideal for long exposures, but I did get some interesting 'light painting' effects on the canyon walls from these long 20 second exposures.
I'm looking forward to getting back out to the desert and doing more astrophotography. My next project is to photograph some deep sky objects with a tracking mount like the Ioptron SkyTracker...
Anyone else into astrophotography ?
