Furry of Fitz Roy

Shooting time-lapse footage is a great way to show the dynamic nature of things, and especially life in the mountains. The time-lapse footage below of the Fitz Roy massif was shot in late afternoon, across Laguna Capri, not far from my campsite in Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. The sequence was shot with my Nikon D610, my first attempt at shooting a time-lapse sequence. This footage was shot with the Auto exposure setting, and a shooting interval of 5 sec, for 1 hr and 25 mins (I think). The camera automatically compiles all the hundreds of images into a video, interesting stuff. When you look at video like this, you almost wonder why anyone would want to climb this mountain, it must get just nuts near the top, with near vertical granite walls, incredible winds, clouds, rain, snow and ice.
