Caithness Nightscapes

  • Caithness is the most northerly county on the mainland of Great Britain and it has excellent night skies due to lack of light pollution. In fact Caithness has one of the darkest night skies in the whole UK so you can see arc of Milky Way stretching overhead on every moonless night if the sky is clear.
    Due to county location on the far north, in Caithness you can see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) more often than from every other place in mainland Britain.
    I hope you will enjoy watching Caithness night sky treasures accompanied by great piece of music by British composer Rick Clarke, so turn up your speakers volume.
    For more great music visit Rick's website at music4yourvids....
    For best experience please watch on full screen in HD resolution.
    Thanks for watching.

    Thanks, glad you like it. It's difficult to say how much time I have spend on this as I have gathered this material over last 12 months. Most time consuming are Milky Way shots, as for 10 sec. sequence you need to spend about 3 hours on the field shooting ... and slowly freezing ;).

    I used to live in East Mey way back in the early 90's and can still remember the fantastic views over the sea to Orkney and the amazing starry skies and occasional Norther Lights.
    Now I live in Eastern Finland and have even more impressive views of the starry skies (at least during the winter as summers are just light) but despite having all the forest and lakes here as a backdrop you just can't beat the views over the sea.

    A truly wonderful little film. The land of my childhood and teenage years and a beautiful landscape, crowned by the wonders of the night sky.
    You have made this exile realise what they are missing - I will be playing this (and your Noctilucent Clouds and Aurora film) again and again. The music is very apt for the majesty of the North...
    (Shame about the wind farms though...)

    Auroras are visible from Caithness from the end of August till the beginning of May but only few days in the month depends on solar activity.

    Summer is not too good to see aurora as sky is not dark enough at this time of year but you can see noctilucent clouds instead.

    Not going to give you a big head by boosting your ego too much but your work really is unbelievable!
    Keep up the fantastic work mate .. I hope to get back up to Wick again to catch the aurora at the end of the year.

    Odstępy były różne w zależności od obiektu. Większość ujęć zorzy była robiona co 8 sekund a Drogi Mlecznej co 30 sekund, czyli tyle ile trwało naświetlanie jednej klatki dla każdego z tych ujęć.

  • @MaciejWiniarczyk
    @MaciejWiniarczyk  11 лет назад

    Hi. Yes I think it is large probability to see aurora in October in Caithness and on Orkney although it is never guaranteed and depends on Sun activity and weather. Good luck with aurora hunting.

  • @MaciejWiniarczyk
    @MaciejWiniarczyk  11 лет назад +1

    For most shots I have used Canon 7D with 10mm Sigma diagonal fisheye lens. But some sequences are also shot with Canon 1000D with 18-55mm kit lens or old manual M42 fit lens 28mm Chinon.

    Wow - amazing stuff Maciej! I studed astrophysics at St Andrews about 20 years ago but am now down on the south coast of England where the light pollution is more of an issue than in Caithness! What equipment do you use? I love the way you can program a super-slow pan or zoom! How do you manage to get such a deep exposure to show the milky way and such sharp star images in such long time-lapse footage?

    Większość sekwencji jest zrobiona Canonem 7D z obiektywem Sigmy 10mm diagonal fisheye f/2.8.
    Ale jest też kilka ujęć zrobionych moim starym Canonem 1000D z kitowym obiektywem 18-55mm f/3.5.
