South America : Asia : Mid-East : Africa
This is an overland travel still photography website. Only a few selected videos, by the website owner are added here.
Misfires happen, normally from user error, not camera gear. The above clips relate more to timing.
Lunar shimmering @70% at 7° East. The ripple effect is similar when observing stars — vibrational electromagnetic energy? At the closing of the clip, something unknown is moving across the Lunar surface from right to left. Because of the location and angle height, insects, birds and bats can be ruled out. Also, Insects and birds in or out of focus crossing the Moon's path are easily recognized by their movement. Above video clip — DSLR FX, 1986 Nikkor 800 5.6 ED AIS.
Overland travel lunar clips & stills taken with various dinosaur photo gear i.e. 1986 prime, 2007 D3, 2012 D800

Moon rising behind coconut palms, Nov. 2016. RAW stills are in sequence showing time stamp of each capture. Post-contrast adjustments were required to bring out the shadows revealing coconut trees and tips of coconut leaf scraping through the edges of the Moon from both sides. Three distinct tripod angle adjustments can be seen during the captures.
These images are the first of apparent 90° rapid clockwise anticlockwise lunar rotational occurrences. Since the above 2016 event, further 90° rapid rotations have been captured in 2018, 2022 & 2023. More extensive detailed file data in the 'Street Photographer's Viewpoint' page.
One of two Hanoi central time-lapse clips at the same location. The above is the low res smartphone version. Anyone browsing this website will notice the anti-biased negativity using smartphone junk for still photography. In general, I don't have much time for smartphones — no matter the brand name. The only single positive traveling with smartphones are the odd video and time-lapse clips — that's about it.
As the saying goes 'a still photographer remains a dedicated still photographer'. Overland travel videography by the website owner never expanded, due to the lack of interest. One obvious reason, it involves much more post-processing time than still photography. Even time-lapse videos, like below requires excessive amounts of time compared to a dozen still captures at the same location. An Italian friend videographer spends countless days indoors on his laptop preparing one short video clip, and enjoys doing it. Who knows what the future holds, maybe videography will suddenly kick start into gear, but right now it's one shot at a time. Below, time-lapse early morning moped rush hour, Hanoi.
