Professional photographer (and Nikon ambassador) Mark Watson heard about an interesting phenomena. In a certain area of Australia, there is a rare cloud formation know as the “Morning Glory“. Mark shot video and still pictures of these clouds for the Red Bull Glorious Days project.
It’s a cloud formation that rolls across the salt flat region during certain times of the year, the “Morning Glory” is up to 600 miles long, and moves up the 35 mph. Apparently, if you’re insane, it’s possible to ’surf’ the cloud wave in a hang glider. I don’t know about surfing, but the images are absolutely spectacular. And the photographer took the video and stills with a Nikon D300s.
Thanks to Mike for the tip.
Hopefully they release a more full length film that shows more of the flying!
I’d also like to see more of the actual flying instead of the interview, the cloud wave looks spectacular especially with the high dollar video equipment.
Yeah, I’d too like to see more of the actual footage that they got instead of the documentary/trailer. Looks like they got some pretty ridiculous footage of the cloud wave. I immediately had to go to wikipedia and read about this phenomenon.
A friend of mine also use a Nikon D300s but his photograph skills is not so priseworthy. So I will send his this piece of blog. Thanks for the author :)
Anyone know what the composer or name of the music that is played during the first part of the video and ends around 0:46?
Great video. I’m also interested in the music that played in the first part of the video
Me too. I tried using shazam on the iphone but did not work due too the yakking.
