I have been to paradise & this is what it looks like.

in #dtube7 years ago (edited)


I cannot tell you where this is shot and I cannot tell you why I cannot tell you!

But I can tell you this 3 minute film has never before been seen online and is made from my HDR time-lapse shots, drone & underwater footage, filmed earlier this year on a secret expedition in North Maluku, Indonesia.

Now that I have seen this place I will never be this same person again.

I have seen paradise... and I want more!

I absolutely love it, what a blessed situation you are in to be able to enjoy such fascinating Beauty, I really loved the HDR timelapse, I have very much inspired to do this sort of thing more often then I have. Thanks so much for the share I really enjoyed the video and your inspiration. Be well brother see you around steemit. @samstonehilltube

Thanks for your uplifting words brother.

I hope you are able to try this technique. You may have guessed... I am hooked ;)

It’s so beautiful! What extraordinary photo documentation! Absolutely amazing place! Wishing you all the best on your adventures Sam! Love to your beautiful family!

Many thanks for your positivity :)

Lots of love right back at ya!

It is images like this that makes me want to visit Indonesia!

It is truly a beautiful country :)

Sam have you heard of John Chang aka Dynamo Jack from Volcano Islands?

I had not heard of him till now. Thanks for the link. Super interesting!

As a Reiki practitioner subjects like this I enjoy very much.

If you find him let me know. DJ has supposedly retreated in the jungles. Maybe you can still find him in an Indonesian Chinatown in Volcano islands.

haha! I will look out for him!

Those timelapses are great. Are you using anything like LRTImelapse to produce them? Id love to see a video of just timelapses - i've got an ongoing diy project to create a timelapse rail mechanism for moving timelapses. Will start documenting that in the next few days.

Followed upvoted and re-steemed. Hope that helps you get some steem.

Thanks! I create the HDR using Photomatix pro and compile the shots in Adobe After Effects.

You may enjoy my showreel made last year...

Thanks for the upvote & resteem!

That's pretty bloody epic! Great work. That's the sort of thing im hoping to produce with my timelapse rig..

Seeing as we are sharing...

Great work Sam, I finally logged into DTube, and subscribed to your channel as soon as I got in. Love to you and your family x

Paul! Wow. You are on steemit!!! Amazing to see this bro. After Keni & Seb you are the third person from my old life to join me.

Let me know if you do any posts. I will give you a boost ;)

Lots of love right back at ya!

Owh my goodness.. You were not wrong to call that paradise. I have always been phobic of ocean waters but seeing those footage makes me wanna try scuba diving in the area.

Looks like a reserve so it's off limits would that be true?

I'd love to go visit Bali soon, perhaps in the next couple of years. The real Bali not the commercial tourist trap places.. Perhaps you can help?

Anyone can go there. Only a few fishermen live on these 100 islands. Only trouble is, I can't tell you where they are! At some point I will be able to but not quite yet...

Yes, the real Bali is a must see. And not too hard to find. Just go anywhere the tourists don't go!

No problem advising you on where that is. Just let me know when you are coming ;)
