+1 for the Tokina 11-16 (and the Sigma 10-20) Both amazing canon/nikon-alternative ultra-wide angle lenses! The rig looks like a Dynamic Perception Stage Zero rig, but I could be wrong. Amazing work Jess!

Gorgeous Landscape Time-lapse Created Over 1 Year and with 17,000 Photos

Director and photographer Jess Dunlap spent all of 2012 creating the 4-minute time-lapse video above, titled Monolation. It comprises over 17,000 gorgeous landscape photographs, and features beautiful camera movements that make it feel as though you’re looking around and watching the world pass in fast motion.

In terms of gear, Dunlap used a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 for the vast majority of shots, with the rest being captured through a Sigma 10-20mm.

Locations seen in the video include Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Convict Lake, June Lake, Mono Lake, Simi Valley, and Owens Valley.

Here are some behind-the-scenes photographs showing the rig Dunlap used:

I’ve done this before…it’s so awesome!
Using a whisk is a great idea, when we did it we just tied the string directly around the wool, and it would burn through and send the wool flying far away! (don’t do that) Follow the directions below for an awesome time, and bring a camera…because it will be awesome.
