I have made this video from my photography to show the beauty and wonder of the first and best national park. I hope more people visit the park so that they can see the beauty with there own eyes. As a 16 year old, I try to get out to the park at leas 1 week a year, but that is not enough for me. I hope to be able to take a winter trip sometime in the coming years. My passion is photography, especially wildlife, so please rate and comment on my video. All photos and video were taken and processed by me, and the music is royalty and DRM free.

oh yes it does. interesting information, Thanks 🙂
NASA now offers a text messaging service that will alert you when the station will be visible from your location. Search “NASA Spot the Station”.
This is an illusion caused by the closeness of the jet and the extremely high speed of the space station. The jet flies at around 600 km/h about 11 km high. The ISS flies at 27,000 km/h, 400 km high.
The ISS is about 45X as fast, but is 36X farther away. Since the proportional speed of the ISS is slightly greater than its proportional altitude, it actually appears to move slightly faster than a jet at cruise. Lower aircraft will appear to be faster, however.
Hope this answers your question (:
that clears the confusion. I’m not into photography so i didn’t know it is supposed to be faster than normal. Thank you for the video it really got me interested. I’m gonna try to look for it in the sky.
it’s a timelapsed clip … it’s supposed to be faster than normal. In realtime, the ISS would have been seen for a couple of minutes.
how does it fly by so fast? isn’t it too far away from earth? i mean an aircraft appears to move slow in the sky so shouldn’t the ISS move even more slowly since it is much more outer in space…even if it is moving at the same speed as an aircraft…sorry i am confused 🙁
original
I love it!
Astounding!
yes, you use an intervolometer. Some cameras have them built in, others you can attach a remote.
Is there a way to let the camera automatically take the photos in certain periods of time?
cool vid!!! no pun intended
17,000 miles per hour in relation to the surface of the earth. So when standing on the earth looking hundreds of miles into the sky, it appears to be moving much slower. Yes, if the space station was only 200 FEET off the ground and buzzed by at 17,000 miles per hour, you would not see much of anything, and you would feel one hell of a sonic boom, not to mention, within the atmosphere, the thing could never go that fast without burning up.
Seen the ISS about 5 times now over my house, it’s still an amazing sight, seen a few dimmer satellites too
ha , your totally weird why wouldnt it exist it would waste money if everyday they had videos from the ISS and the views from the ISS , im guessing you beleve in UFO’s,, and as tvboettr said u probilly wear foil hats .
you can see it because of how big it is and you can actually see it ever hour and a half
If you haven’t set out to spot the ISS yourself, you should do it, it’s pretty cool. Go to one of the tracking websites and try to determine when it will come over your area. A good time to see it is when the sun is just going down. Keep scanning the sky because sometimes it will just suddenly show up because the sun’s reflection is just right. It often has a golden hue to it.
That is awesome work. I don’t think most people realize the skill it takes to shoot something like this.
rofl, you cant see it beause its going to 17000 mph (its exactly 16560mph), thats a lame excuse, remember it is 220miles from earth, it doesnt pass to 1miles from you, u can see it by yourself, just google: iss visible passes
ISS looks slower than a plane flying in the sky.. yes it prob goes 17000 MPH but were watching it 100 of miles away from it
Its not fake, It flew by southeastern michigan last night around 9:13 thru 9:19, I seen it.
It’s a time-lapse clip … meaning, time was sped up. You can actually see it better in real time as it is ‘slower’ moving across the sky. These days too, it is brighter since the new solar panels have been installed.
Absolutely fantastic video of Yellowstone
Absolutely fantastic video fob
Very nicely done! I really enjoyed it, thanks so much.
SHALOM VERY VERY VERY NICE VIDEOS TOV TODA
Great shots! Loved the one of the coyote with the rodent in it’s mouth in the wildflowers. What time of year were you there?
Hi! You are GOOD!! Excellent photography! Keep up doing this! You have great talent! Great instrumental music you selected too for this video!
Excellent!
I love this !
