On a hike from Pico de La Nieve to Rifugio Pico de La Cruz this time-lapse was created. The blender tool was used for image stabilization. The images have been recorded with a Fujifilm X-T1 camera and were developed with darktable.
Clear skies!

Since the last astro-tour the moon still has left the scene. However, unfortunately Mirador del Jable and Mirador Llano de Las Ventas are covered in clouds and there is quite some wind up there. I am happy that hdmeteo tells me that in advance. Luckily, it also tells me that the west-side of La Palma looks pretty good for tonight. I just have no idea where exactly I should drive to with my equipment. It should be a quiet place with no wind and no traffic but it should still be reachable by car…

While I recorded this time-lapse of the “Falling clouds” on La Palma it was quite windy. Luckily the free blender tool has a very good image stabilization routine included. One of many great youtube tutorials about 2D image stabilization with blender can be found here. In the end no more dangling is visible in the final video!

On our hike to Pico Birigoyo I had the chance to record this time-lapse video of a spectacular phenomenon – the “falling clouds”. This “Cascada de Nubes” is quite typical for La Palma. When the weather conditions are right the build-up clouds from the east side of the ridge are pressed across the so called “Cumbre Nueva”. The clouds flows over the edge and fall like a waterfall until they mysteriously disappear.
The time-lapse has been recorded with a Fujifilm X-T1 camera. The post-processing has been done with blender.

Astrophotography on La Palma
Well… I like the moon… but… YEAH! He is gone! Time for astrophotography on La Palma 🙂 For this purpose I rent a VW Caddy here on La Palma. The plan: Put all the equipment and my girlfriend into the Caddy and drive up to Mirador del Jable – a quite popular place for watching the stars. One last look at the weather forecast from aemet… Looks quite promising! Even though it is almost impossible to predict the weather on La Palma. Furthermore, hdmeteo can be helpful to get an idea of the current weather conditions on the island. And last but not least the NOT webcam can give another impression. The decision has been made – tonight will be astro-night!
