Mercury transit

This was the day with a big D. We had planned for this event for quite a while and we started the “feast” the night before by shooting our first very own Jupiter in colour picture.

Both me and Jakob had taken the day off (Monday) to get as much time as needed to succeed with our project: To photograph the transit in 5 minutes steps throughout the entire day to finally make a film.
The weather was flawless with crystal clear sky and about 25 degrees in the air. So it became a superb day with a lot of productivity and a lot of laughter! Sitting behind a parasol and a curtain and staring at computer screens all day is everything you could ever ask for 🙂

And I must say that the result is somewhat of the coolest things we have ever accomplished!
The project resulted in two separate films… one shorter, and one longer version.
