    Two weeks of non-stop shooting, 1600GB - 62,000 of raw image files along with 500GB of rendered video files to combine into this piece.
    After transiting Panama Canal, our ship cross the Caribbean Sea into Atlantic Ocean and arrive at New York, Savannah then Charleston. The timelapse was taken over span of 15 days, some less interesting parts were speed up or faded out (cargo work, daylight hours with no clouds). Most night shots were done on 25 second shutter speed at 30 seconds interval, with port arrivals and departures at 4~8s interval.
    note The time-lapse was presented different than actual port rotation, its narrative was not linear. I purposefully reshuffled Charleston before New York because it'd be anti-climatic to start the timelapse with dark moody rainy day arriving at New York.

These exams are painless but many people and children are still very frightened. I have a short list of videos I play for people to help them relax and yours are becoming a favorite. I have two patients who have had repeated testing that ask to watch the boat captain while I prepare them for an exam. Thank you.

      As a kid growing up on a farm one of the countless cool things of the lifestyle was seeing the night sky>!! In the 1970's there was major explosion of high powered security lights for farms. Not only was their power so much more bright but they stayed on all night. Before that, "yard" lights were a big incandescent bulb operated by a manual switch. After that time period the details of the night sky were much less clear. After moving to a city....forget it. However, I don't recall the sky as clear as that over the ocean, that's really remarkable and cool off the charts>!!

    I love these timelapses you make! I have a couple of suggestions:
    1. I think the parts that you speed up much faster than the rest should not be that fast, personally the length of the video is worth the beautiful photography that it provides.
    2. Maby having a way to visualize a map and where you are would be cool, just make sure its small and not the main focus. maybe a dark theme map :)
    I hope this channel keeps growing for you, its what so many people wanted!
