The Best Mountain Scenery

drzog · Apr 8th, 2007, 12:36

i know its an old thread, but my I had my first Himalayan vista last week, climbing Chandershila, on one of the first treks of the season from Rishikesh, we had to start the climb at 5am so the snow would be hard, snow was down to 3000mtrs, the summit is 4020 or so...anyway although technically easy the lungs were feeling it near the top, it was a wonderful experience, even coming from New Zealand, growing up in those mountains, it was more amazing seeing the 7000+ mtr peaks, esp Nanda Devi from the top! moving to Manali next week for some MORE!!

That's a very impressive video Raj. It appears to be made by zooming still images and stitching the results together. Would be interested to know the software/technique you used to do this?
The music and images fit together very well and your conducting is fantastic. It speaks on many levels.

Dear Wanderer22,

Thanx so much for your kind comments on my video!

The program is iMovie... it's a very easy process; the only trick is having some timing and groove in order to get the images to convey themselves properly.

Oh yeah, and a story to tell is good too!
