Jim you are so right. I am by no means a video maker, but I tried it because my drone records it. I wasn't taking the viewer's experience into account. I personally find that terrain fascinating and felt like a bird flying over it all. But yes, it is way too long. Most of my friends couldn't get through it, but didn't want to tell me. I'm going back to making photographs for a while, and will return to video soon, aiming to stick to 3 to 4 minute vids.Like Jim has pointed out to me before, and I'm surprised he didn't on this, it needs some editing to cut down the time. I fast forwarded through most of the views down on the often boring valley floor (although you did get some nice patterns). I really like the mountains and clouds. What would really be nice would be if you and Jim could share your earth & sky videos shooting at the same place and time!
