A Rainy Autumn Afternoon at Danforth Brook

Hidden in a corner of Hudson, MA is Danforth Brook, a tributary of the Assabet River.  A short walk from the road, the brook changes from a meandering stream in the woods to a series of small waterfalls working their way through large glacial boulders.  I rarely visit this spot without returning with some great photographs.

Technical

Filmed with a Canon 5D Mark 2, 70-200mm f/2.8L and 24-70 f/2.8L lenses.  (And changing them in the rain is no fun at all…)

Camera moves were done with a home-made portable track  (similar to the Glidetrack).  I plan to write an article about this as I get more experience with it.

A big shout-out to danosongs for providing soundtrack music for these tiny projects for free.

    David, as I said on Naturescapes I really like the moves on this video. I’d love to see an article on how you built your portable track so will keep an eye out with interest :D

    If you are interested in the tracking shot (dolly) platform I used, I’ve written a short article on it here: http://dmg-photography.com/blog/2010/01/portable-slider
