Thanks a lot, my son did the video and has more he is about to send us. We were there in June/July and it was fantastic. Stars were magic.

Yes he did it with the new Canon camera, the latest one. I think he was going to put what camera he used on the link.

I would suggest a Cannon 5D, they have great video capability and with the time lapse motor make a great professional unit.
Unfortunately we only have the 400 D and the 50 D, but the next one will be the 5 D.

Well done. Makes my dvd of the Simpson look a bit ordinary.

Julie your son must be commended on the excellent editing he did and the creation of the time lapse sequences was awesome. Obviously your original raw footage gave him plenty to use.

Hope you post the additional footage he is doing for you?

Make sure you give back more than you take

No it's not an empty reply.

But what can you say after watching that!

A truly magical experience - thanks for sharing Julie.

We were out there in July and it brings back so many wonderful memories
