This project was filmed over a three week period in the fall of 2009 (there were several delays due to rain). I returned a year later to capture the final scenes. Main camera: Canon EOS 40D. Second camera: Nikon P50. Music: Dripping Whispers by Alex Rich. Used under license.
4/4/13 update: A big thanks to all the new viewers today, and also to reddit, PetaPixel, Treehugger and the rest for the fresh exposure.
I see many people were hoping to watch the pond fill up; believe me, I wanted to capture it too! Unfortunately the Nikon P50 can only take 2000 shots in time lapse mode, no matter what capacity SD card you use. The 40D needed it's card changed during this job as well; I lived over 100 miles from this site, and had to make the trip several times over the three weeks that it took them to dig. An entire winter & spring of that just wasn't practical!
