A Delicate Timelapse

[JimFox]

A short and hopefully enjoyable Timelapse from Delicate Arch in Arches National Park.

I need to plan a time where I can get up there earlier as it's fun to watch the people running around.

I am not totally happy with the front of the video as the gold color has bled into the whites on the ground, but that's one of the problems with video and the global adjustments. This would have been better actually had I used one of my Nikons. I like the Sony A6400, but sadly for being one of Sony's top of the line crop sensor mirrorless, it is really missing features that one would associate with being a top of the line product, like anti-flicker and exposure smoothing. So not wanting the timelapse ruined by flickering exposures, I set the Sony in complete manual, and set it to overexpose slightly at the start to help compensate for when it would start getting too dark during and after the sunset. Okay, end of rant on the Sony A6400.

What are all those ants doing scurrying around? I like it anyway.

Thanks Ben! Yeah, these ones are just for fun. I think timelapses are a great way to watch people, I mean ants.

Short and sweet. Your videos pop up on my YouTube feed. This is simply short, but one of my favorites.

Interesting to see the foot traffic around that park feature.

Thank you Craig! This one is a bit short, I might try it again in a few weeks on my way back to California, and get up there earlier to capture more of the madness of the ants.

The ants really begin arriving this week. Spring break, which extends through November, and now even a choo-choo train...

A friend on search and rescue and they are already overwhelmed. The stories I hear of the ridiculous rescues they have to do, but shouldn't have to do....

Oh man.... I was thinking on heading back there in about 2 weeks, but maybe I need to rethink that.

I can just imagine the insane rescues they have to do. Attribute that to Instagram and TikTok as the video's I have seen on there never seem to share any of the dangers of the outdoors, just this glamourous view.

My friend was on a rescue this past Saturday on the alternate Delicate Arch Viewpoint trail. Someone fell and went down 60+ feet. They actually lived, so it must have been quite a tumble. I asked if the person was a photographer. He didn't know. They did bring in the helicopter though.
