If it was a time lapse the jet would be moving too fast to capture so much motion. Clouds just off the wing are not moving. It looks real with the way the clouds move around the mountain, just can't figure out how they did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an animation made from several cropped and aligned still shots, probably taken over a few minutes. Something like Adobe AfterEffects can "fill in" between shots to make an animation. Kind of like those animations of Mt. Saint Helens erupting. There are other ways to do this, usually by stabilizing video around a fixed point of reference.

wxeyeNH Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Well the general concept of the picture is real. The clouds come up to the volcano and then they dissipate on the leeward side slope. Now that I am watching it again I can see its stitched together from stills. I'll probably see the clip somewhere on my facebook timeline with people posting "amazing video shot" blah, blah, blah. Just like the super moon pictures when the moon is about 1/4 of the sky. I shouldn't get started on what's real and what is not with photography. In any event the concept of the video is real enough. On a separate note the last snow in the deep woods will be gone in the next day or two. Forsythia just coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The mass arrival of white throated sparrows has begun. Probably 15-20 of them so far. Still a far cry from last years peak. They sound so great when several of them start singing at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one caught in my garage this afternoon too...hopefully it wasn't looking to nest. Saw (scared) my first pileated from the suet of the season too. I hear them everyday, but hadn't been able to get a glimpse of one yet. It was also attack of the hawks tonight. I'm not too sharp with my birds of prey identification, but it wasn't the usual red-tailed hawks. We had a black one with a large wingspan fly just over and circle the house for about 10 minutes while I shoo'd it away from the scattered chickens.

Dan Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Driving back from Florida on Sunday, there was full leaf out up to about southern to central New Jersey. Once I got past the GW bridge in NY, did not see any trees that were leafed out. Like that all the way up here to Northeast Mass. Lawns were certainly green everywhere tho.

Guess it was a turkey vulture and then the swarming ones after that were broad-winged hawks. Nothing exactly rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Large numbers of goldfinches at our feeder this season. Also saw a decent sized woodpecker (smaller than a pileated) that swooped out of a tree with a pretty bizarre call...sort of a screech, Not sure what is was. Owls have been going bonkers again. I cannot get over how many barred owls are around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 What a great first day back from a two week trip down south after our maple season....lol. It was nice to see the green up down there. Lower elevations were at least a month ahead of us if not more but what was interesting to me was that we needed to be between 4,500 and 6,000' to have similar growth to our latitude/elevation. It still amazes me that our treeline is closer to 4,000' but even on top of Mt Mitchell at 6,700' there are trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy, was a real nice morning up this way. Low of 28F at 5am and then up to 58F by 11am with sunshine. Clouds rolled in quick and -RN is starting to wetbulb us back towards the 40s.

It still amazes me that our treeline is closer to 4,000' but even on top of Mt Mitchell at 6,700' there are trees. Natural tree line in the NC/TN Apps must be over 7,000' - the balds in those mts are the results of fires (and in some places, from clearcutting the old growth red spruce.) By the time one gets to Baxter Park, tree line is down closer to 3,500'; there are some trees above that, but mostly krummholz. On a years-ago thread, we discussed the latitude-elevation "exchange" and IIRC a ratio of about 600' per degree of latitude was where we ended up. (Seems too low for tree line - Katahdin is about 10 degrees north of the 6,000-footers in the Apps, and I'm not ready to buy into the natural tree line at 35N being over 9,000'.)

Typhoon Tip Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 This spring has been about seesawing between truly hideous weather and relative utopia ..almost on a day by day basis. Short duration sensible weather changes are more likely in spring around here, than any other season, ...but this year there's been more than the usual. Yesterday when I fled work and shot up 190 around 4 ...by the time I arrived upon Rt 2 the sky was clear and the temperature on the dash' was pegged at 78 F. No wind, save for that which gushed by the open windows of my car. Later on in in the driveway, the the only sound was birds amid a setting featuring the warm glow late afternoon sideways sun. Right now? ..paper cut, rubbing alcohol. 48 F and pelting rain. 60 hours large of this, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 For the garden lovers. Here are some shots from my Paris vacation. The 1st 4 are from Rodin Museum and the rest are from Versailles. Took almost 600 photos. Paris is an amazingly beautiful place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
