Life, what an exquisite privilege


Twilight to Sunrise @ low tide. Time Lapse 6:00 to 7:40 am. 100 minutes in 23 seconds. 44° F. October 19, 2024. Cove Island Park. Stamford, CT. What’s your favorite? #1 or #2? (And then I’ll disclose what equipment produced which video.)

  1. gosh, this is otherworldly – awesome – utterly beautiful…. and I wonder: Did you actually read the ‚linked‘ article by Katie Rubinstein?
    What an extra-ordinary woman; and she‘s still young too, yet has such a profound knowledge of ‚inner living‘. It took me wahaaaayyyy longer to come to this point. But I‘m also thankful for everything that happened to me because it made me a better person.

  2. Loved both, but my gut says #1 (sun’s appearance made me gasp). Nothing technical to say. 🙂

  3. If this is a scientific experiment to determine which, or whose, camera is better, this experiment was not conducted properly. Your constant variables are not constant enough.

    The little scientis in me is happy I got this off my chest.

    Than being said, Miracle, all of it. I love how #2 shows the stars more.

  4. I have to call it a draw… Even if that’s not allowed LOL. Why? Because I prefer the sunrise in #1… but I prefer the look of the foreground BY FAR in #2.

    Please don’t forget to reveal the equipment used! 🙂 my geeky side is dying to hear that answer!

    Both videos are wonderful, Dave.
    Well done!

    1. Thanks Paul. #1 appeared to be the overwhelming favorite and it was taken with a Google Pixel 9 Pro and #2 was taken with a Samsung Ultra 24. And I’ve repeated this test multiple times and the Pixel wins each time. That being said, Cara’s iPhone 16 Pro wins almost every single time and my guess is the Operator had a lot to do with the outcome.

        1. Interesting. Google Pixel smartphone for #1 and Samsung Galaxy ultra smartphone for #2. And Pixel and IPhone continue to shine on video front. I don’t have courage to leave my DSLR unattended for any length of time so I haven’t tried it yet!
