    This is one awesome video. I love the Hdr it brings out the detail of the wood. I showed it to my wife and it brought tears to her eyes. We hope that maybe it can be restored one day.

    Donnie, I am very pleased that the film is so touching. Despite I watched it many times during editing it also touches me every time I watch it. Thank you very much for leaving a comment.

    This was shared with me recently after a Photography Guild meeting…I have watched it many times and the work is true to the grandeur of this magical place. With every time I have watched it, more details are captured and the emotive feelings are stronger. A masterful, moving piece!

    Patryk,

    Enjoyed your composition ‘The Chapel’ and ‘Autumn’ especially.

    Are there any plans in place to restore The Chapel in in Zeliszów?

    Robisz kapitalne rzeczy ! Nie mam nic z tym biznesem wspólnego ale interesuję sie tym trochę bo moi amerykańscy znajomi zajmuja sie taką vizualna twórczością profesjonalnie; przede wszystkim robieniem virtualnych panoram 360. Porozsyłałam im juz Twoje linki. Pewnie będą zachwyceni :) Pozdrawiam !

    Wow… pause for a moment to reflect and to take it in… I saw your ‘Autumn’ short on F-Stoppers, and now bookmarked you as an inspirational artisan.
    Please I have to ask… what camera setting best work for you (frames per second and AV or TV mode)… I am new to time lapse on DSLR, but this .. your work has not only inspired me, but also taught me so much.
    Those motorized jib… are they your creation too??
    Now off the view ALL the videos on your site… !!

    @Une
    Thanks for your comment.
    I shot mainly on Manual mode unless I need exposure ramping for example for shooting day-to-night.
    TV Mode works well for this.

    Great work guys! I know lots went into the making of this. By the way I like the tripod on the second level at 3:00 and the person checking out the camera. Doesn’t look all that safe in there. Music and visuals work perfect together. Thanks for sharing this!

    This looks terrible. The video would have looked great if you didnt put that HDR effect on it. Why does everything keep flickering?

    Also the fact that you dont let every comment go up means you are only approving the ones that say positive things about your video. Sorry but it just doesnt look good. I would love to see it without the bad effect though. Im sure it looked amazing up until that point.

    Whether or not you like HDR photography, if you know what it takes to correctly take just one successful single HDR picture, you’d have to recognize that this feat is quite an achievement. Knowing how hard it is to just get it right once, this picture just blew me away. Awesome project Patryk. This is breathtaking display of HDR technique.
    Thank you very much for sharing.
