Snow Angel by Ben Canales

This is the video behind the scenes:



I got a last minute invite from Chip McAlpine to join him on his photo trip to Crater Lake National Park to shoot stars.

This was certainly a demanding trip in all aspects: before/during/after, financially, and relationships. But, damn, the results are one of my favorite so far from the years I've been shooting stars.

The timelapse motion in the video is made possible by using the Dynamic Perception Stage Zero dolly system. For more information about them visit:

Music by Joshua Radin.
