Landing in Dublin Airport at Sunset in Hyperlapse

Landing in Dublin Airport at Sunset in Hyperlapse

I was coming back from a week in London on Saturday, and our flight was approaching Dublin at sunset. The view out the window of the plane was amazing with the sun just sitting above the clouds. As we began our descent it looked even more impressive, so I grabbed my iPhone and fired up the hyper lapse app, and recorded our descent through the clouds, and then down until we landed. 

I edited the two shots together in Premiere Pro and did some minor grading and de-noising, but this is pretty much straight out of the iPhone. I love the hyperlapse app. It really does allow you to get some great shots. Of course I could have just videoed this normally, but what you don't see here, is that there was a good bit of turbulence, and we were bouncing a bit, but the app has smoothed it all out perfectly. 

Incidentally, here are some stills from a little earlier as we were above the clouds with the amazing light. Shot on an iPhone 5:
