Last week we got back from an awesome road trip to place the long term time lapse cameras. I was lucky enough to have with me 3 guys who were integral to the camera placing process: Mark Decena, the director of the River Red film, John Behrens, our DP, and Fearghal Odea. Thanks guys.
We started off by traveling to Lake Powell and placed a camera high on a bluff. From there, we went to Moab, Utah and met up with Karen- a long time resident of Moab and whose love of the River was infectious. We placed a camera on the banks of the mighty colorado to watch as it transitions from high water to low. Thank you Karen! A day later, up in Granby, Colorado, we placed two cameras to capture images of the snow melt- believe it or not, there was still a lot of snow on the ground and we’ll ‘be there’ as it melts.
Check out this video of Lake Powell’s long term time-lapse camera placement.
Here are more behind the scenes photos from the trip.

Hi. In a similar vein I always wanted to see what winter looked like in my secret mountain spot. After a few attempts…last year I was able to get a full unattended year of daily photos from a time lapse rig with solar backup. 2 photos a day for 365 days.
I left in in there for this year also….and if it survives there will be some crazy footage when the melt comes….but because of the high snow we might not be able to get to the trail head that would get us into that canyon before the new snow season hits.
Anyway…I like the idea of your project and look forward to seeing the big river breath. Check my little river video out and you will see what I mean.
Good Luck.
