Well, with the recent additions to our family (twin girls) this may very have been our last airplane flight for a good 3 or 4 years. Traveling with one baby was hard enough in and of itself. SO I am glad/fortunate that I took this video while I had the chance! :)

On to the video…I actually have a new Targus Grypton Tripod now, I might have been able to use this on the flight to get smoother video and longer durations. As it was I hand held all of this time-lapse which at times was 10mins to 30mins at a time! I think the longest clip was at least 20mins, not sure if it was an entire 30mins. Needless to say it is very hard to hold something that still for that long!

Finally! A great video service that does not lego-ify my timelapse videos. YT is the worst, MC&MySp are better but Clipmoon from what I can tell blows them out of the water!

So here we are on our vacation…let me tell you, filming a time lapse from the seat of your airline seat is no small feat. Every single bump (and believe me there are hundreds if not thousands of them), are amplified due to the timelapse process.

But at least the video quality is great!!!

Bare with me as I migrate these TLV’s.

A lot of the dialogue of this particular entry will not make sense. The joke being it took me forever to post this video. It might have served me a lot better to have posted it before Christmas! Oh well, while timing might be everything, at least I have something to work on!

I know what you are thinking – why so soon after Christmas would I post this??
But then you remind yourself that it’s been 2 months since most people put up their Cmas tree.

Hey, maybe I was busy taking down the Cmas tree…did that ever cross your mind??

That’s what I thought :-)

This while I was waiting to pick up 2.0 passengers @ the airport. This is not during a rush hour by any means but I think it has potential, I would love to return when it’s really hopping.

I’m trying to remember, I don’t think I could get a shot of the entire 6 carousels at once that they have. I think access is pretty much one end of the baggage claim or the other as there are two main staircases/escalators going down to the claim area.

What sorta surprised me is that no one gave me a 2nd look. Sure the camera is small and I’m about as innocent as they get but not one double take the entire time I was there!

I also want to look for a nice vantage point for planes taking off and landing but I am not sure if one exists…time to do some scouting!
