Adventures of Megaweapon!

[Ron4RNevada]

I pretty much agree with John the luck, "just enough".

Good job.

 

[shrub1]

Agree.
Your narration is a nice touch and not over the top.

 

[tundra555]

I have to agree as well, awesome job. Especially that second video. It felt like I was watching an intro into one of those MacGillivray Freeman productions. Keep up the great work.

 

[Ray Dunakin]

Thanks guys! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos and provide feedback. Good to know I'm on the right track!

Last Monday night I drove out to a place near Campo, CA to photograph the Campo Creek Viaduct. This is a large,
steel railroad trestle that crosses old highway 94. It was built by the San Diego & Arizona Railway and was
completed in 1917.

I got a few photos of the bridge from below, and also shot some time-lapse video with the bridge silhouetted against the night sky.

Then I found a trail that took me up into the hills near the tracks, and camped out just a short distance from the bridge. In the morning I got up early so I could shoot some pics and video right after sunrise, the "golden hour" for photography. Got a couple pics of myself with the bridge, too.

Here are a few aerial photos:

Enjoy!

I love those night pictures!

Last time I went out to the Campo Creek Viaduct, the moon was nearly full, and the sky was partly cloudy. So I couldn't get the kind of night shots I really wanted. I went back there Sunday night to try again. No moon, no clouds, lots of stars!

That second shot was from a series of time lapse photos. Each shot took 15 seconds, with another five seconds between shots. So it took nearly two and a half hours to get enough for 12 seconds of time lapsed video. Unfortunately there was frequent traffic on the highway under the bridge, and every time a car went by the headlights would light up the bridge. So the resulting video is not what I was hoping for.

These shots of the Milky Way were taken on top of the hill near one end of the bridge. I got some very nice time lapse of the Milky Way moving across the sky; however I had to cut it short when some damp air rolled in a fogged up the lens. I was up until 3 a.m. shooting all this stuff:

In the morning I flew my drone again and got some shots I'd missed the last time.

I'm still working on getting the video from both trips edited - and trying to locate some vintage pics to include with it.

Here are a couple shots of Megaweapon parked near the bridge:

I'm really liking your report Ray, it's good to see another San Diegan getting out and enjoying their 4Runner. :thumb:

I'm still about a year behind on my build/adventure thread, but I am catching up!
