Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:21,193 --> 00:00:24,231
Not sure that you can get this
shot,
2
00:00:24,265 --> 00:00:26,647
which is sort of crazy to me.
3
00:00:26,681 --> 00:00:28,994
I didn't think that I dreamt up
something
4
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:31,169
that was like truly
impossible,
5
00:00:31,203 --> 00:00:33,343
but I don't know if this one can
be done.
6
00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:54,192
I think one of the basic things
to being human is to tell
stories
7
00:00:54,226 --> 00:00:58,092
to the people around us to make
sense of our existence.
8
00:01:01,130 --> 00:01:04,167
For a long time we've looked at
the stars to connect with
these stories
9
00:01:04,547 --> 00:01:09,483
and pass down myths and legends
to generations around us.
10
00:01:10,139 --> 00:01:14,522
So this journey to create this
Nebula photograph is my way
11
00:01:14,557 --> 00:01:18,319
of telling a new story about
a camera.
12
00:01:20,321 --> 00:01:25,913
My last celestial ski photo-
graph was in the higher
arctic of Norway.
13
00:01:25,947 --> 00:01:29,123
A couple of skiers and myself
tried to capture a solar
eclipse
14
00:01:29,158 --> 00:01:32,678
and to photograph skiers in
front of them.
15
00:01:33,472 --> 00:01:36,648
Before that there was the ski
photo that launched my career
16
00:01:36,682 --> 00:01:41,135
where I went up to the Yukon
and shot a photo of a skier
in front of the Northern Lights.
17
00:01:44,311 --> 00:01:49,178
Now I'm trying to create a 3rd
and final photograph in this
series
18
00:01:49,212 --> 00:01:56,495
of the Orion Nebula, which is a
cloud of dust and gas in deep
space where stars are being
born.
19
00:01:58,704 --> 00:02:02,156
This is something that you
would associate with the
Hubble telescope
20
00:02:02,191 --> 00:02:06,643
but I'm gonna shoot it from
earth and I'm gonna try
to put a skier in the image.
21
00:02:08,473 --> 00:02:12,753
This image is going to take
both the hardest parts of
Eclipse and Aurora
22
00:02:12,787 --> 00:02:15,859
and put them together
into one incredibly difficult
shot.
23
00:02:16,619 --> 00:02:20,278
The Orion Nebula is a thousand
lightyears away
24
00:02:20,312 --> 00:02:23,004
And I have to line that up with
James on a ridge,
25
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:26,249
the camera has to be on a
special mount that tracks
the sky
26
00:02:26,284 --> 00:02:29,183
And I have to do all of that
with flash photography
27
00:02:29,218 --> 00:02:32,531
on a night where the sky is
clear and when there is no moon
28
00:02:32,566 --> 00:02:33,946
that happens twice a year.
29
00:02:33,981 --> 00:02:37,502
And all of that is hopefully
gonna come together in this one
30
00:02:37,536 --> 00:02:40,021
little moment where everything
works out and
31
00:02:40,056 --> 00:02:41,575
we create another impossible
photograph.
32
00:02:42,645 --> 00:02:47,236
50 is when we are gonna
able to shoot this.
33
00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:49,307
It's getting cloudy.
34
00:02:53,103 --> 00:02:56,624
That's one for one on flash,
that's such good news.
35
00:02:57,246 --> 00:03:01,353
Right now it feels like we've a
potential like alignment,
stuff looks right,
36
00:03:01,388 --> 00:03:03,976
if we get this flash going
it's gonna work.
37
00:03:05,392 --> 00:03:07,359
From Whats going on?
38
00:03:07,394 --> 00:03:10,500
The flash is no longer
being consistent
39
00:03:11,329 --> 00:03:15,333
Didn't work, didn't work,
didn't work, didn't work,
didn't work.
40
00:03:15,850 --> 00:03:20,890
Oh my god, the battery just
started dying in the transmitter
41
00:03:20,924 --> 00:03:24,825
and we got maybe about 15
minutes until Orion completely
disappears.
42
00:03:24,859 --> 00:03:28,656
There is nothing indicating
that we gonna figure this out
really well.
43
00:03:28,691 --> 00:03:33,074
And then there is other stuff
even once we get this flash
working, it's not working
on the other end.
44
00:03:33,109 --> 00:03:37,286
The chaos of it I expected but
right now I'm hitting a wall
45
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,841
that I had no idea I was
gonna find.
46
00:03:41,842 --> 00:03:45,190
I don't know what to do guys,
I think that's a no photo night.
47
00:03:45,432 --> 00:03:49,712
I got nothing,
that's never happened.
48
00:03:52,611 --> 00:03:54,268
That's insane
49
00:03:57,996 --> 00:03:59,687
Holy crap.
50
00:04:00,309 --> 00:04:03,795
Yeah buddy.
51
00:04:03,829 --> 00:04:07,350
Oh my goodness, that was better
than I thought it could
have been.
52
00:04:07,385 --> 00:04:09,283
I hope I didn't fuck that up.
53
00:04:15,703 --> 00:04:19,120
I think we might be here
ten months from now.
54
00:04:21,295 --> 00:04:24,471
I changed my mind, maybe
it is possible.
55
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,995
This terrain feature works,
the setup works
56
00:04:33,307 --> 00:04:36,276
but it's still just so
ridiculous.
57
00:04:42,937 --> 00:04:47,045
I got into photography mostly
to find a new creative pursuit
58
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:50,807
that I didn't have in common
with two older brothers
growing up.
59
00:04:50,842 --> 00:04:54,121
And photography started for me
being a piece of an identity
60
00:04:54,155 --> 00:04:58,953
that I could form who I was
and do something that was
intrinsically me.
61
00:04:58,988 --> 00:05:05,166
I think that on the longterm
evolved into me doing these
crazy weird photographs
62
00:05:05,201 --> 00:05:10,896
where this is my way of
finding and expressing
individuality
63
00:05:10,931 --> 00:05:13,727
and creativity for myself.
64
00:05:14,659 --> 00:05:17,558
After I did Eclipse I was like:
Oh I think I peaked, I'm over,
65
00:05:17,593 --> 00:05:22,183
like that's the end of me as a
ski photographer, that's the
coolest thing I'll ever do.
66
00:05:22,218 --> 00:05:25,773
But I think there did seem to
be a bunch of pressure to do
67
00:05:25,808 --> 00:05:28,328
more of these types of
photographs.
68
00:05:28,362 --> 00:05:32,090
I took that very personally and
thought I guess I still havent
really proved
69
00:05:32,124 --> 00:05:33,643
myself as a photographer.
70
00:05:33,678 --> 00:05:38,096
For the next year that sometimes
actually fostered as like a bit
71
00:05:38,130 --> 00:05:41,755
of a depressive idea that I
still had to do something
different.
72
00:05:42,825 --> 00:05:45,862
And Ive come to peace with the
fact that I might now never
73
00:05:45,897 --> 00:05:48,175
create something bigger, better
or whatever.
74
00:05:48,451 --> 00:05:52,524
but I'm still gonna express
creativity in the way that I
find it naturally occurs for me.
75
00:05:55,493 --> 00:05:58,668
We make these stories around
everything.
76
00:05:58,703 --> 00:06:01,222
A camera even has a story
around it.
77
00:06:02,016 --> 00:06:08,644
And the story that we hear and
most commonly think of is that
the camera is something that
captures reality and holds it.
78
00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:15,409
For me I'm taking an image that
I've created in my head and then
I'm going out to try and find
79
00:06:15,444 --> 00:06:19,137
the place and the time and the
situation to be able to make
that real.
80
00:06:19,586 --> 00:06:23,003
The camera for me then becomes
this projector where I will be
81
00:06:23,037 --> 00:06:26,213
taking this image and
projecting it out into reality.
82
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:30,597
And when it goes right, it's
like deja vu and for this one
83
00:06:30,631 --> 00:06:33,185
moment the shutter closes,
I don't see anything
84
00:06:33,220 --> 00:06:36,741
and that moment should be the
moment that I've been thinking
about
85
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:39,088
and then all of a sudden
you have that moment,
86
00:06:39,122 --> 00:06:41,331
you have that photograph and
you have that experience.
87
00:07:47,708 --> 00:07:52,679
Over the year I always sort
of knew that a version of this
photo was gonna be possible,
88
00:07:52,713 --> 00:07:56,406
but for a long time I just
didn't even want to put in the
effort to create it.
89
00:07:56,441 --> 00:08:01,273
I was just so burned out from
how difficult and confusing the
whole thing was.
90
00:08:01,308 --> 00:08:06,244
The last big problem to solve
was the flash photography and
to do that I just got rid of it
91
00:08:06,278 --> 00:08:10,766
and Im going with an old film
technic where you do a double
exposure in the camera.
92
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,734
One short for action and one
really long for the Nebula.
93
00:08:20,672 --> 00:08:27,783
So all that has to align on
this, we need a clear sky with
stable snow on this mountain;
94
00:08:27,817 --> 00:08:31,752
I need... batteries never to
die, this entire gizmo to work,
95
00:08:31,787 --> 00:08:35,929
me be able to find the north
star if that's clouded out
I can't do the entire thing;
96
00:08:35,963 --> 00:08:41,590
He needs to hit a turn at one
specific moment with a headlamp
on, a 2nd headlamp lighting up
his background.
97
00:08:41,624 --> 00:08:47,285
and then I need to shoot a photo
of that thing, I need to switch
five different things on the
98
00:08:47,319 --> 00:08:52,462
camera all within a short
amount of time while the camera
will let me shoot two different
exposures.
99
00:08:52,497 --> 00:08:55,673
The setup, the check, the double
check, the triple check, all of
those say that
100
00:08:55,707 --> 00:08:57,985
"�Yes, this is exactly where I
should be sitting"�
101
00:08:58,020 --> 00:09:01,575
but its so close and it just
feels so nerve wrecking that
102
00:09:01,610 --> 00:09:04,164
I can't tell whether or not
it's actually gonna do this
properly.
103
00:09:04,198 --> 00:09:08,030
So I'm sweating it right now
being like, I'm in the right
spot, this is where I wanna be
104
00:09:08,064 --> 00:09:10,342
but oh my god I don't
want to be here right now
105
00:09:10,377 --> 00:09:14,899
because for the next hour and a
half I'm just gonna be like
paranoid watching a single star
106
00:09:14,933 --> 00:09:17,729
just being like:
Don't go, don't go,
don't disappear!
107
00:09:22,941 --> 00:09:26,324
All through earlier today and
last night I was telling myself,
108
00:09:26,358 --> 00:09:29,672
like no, this is how success
works, it feels super stressful
109
00:09:29,707 --> 00:09:33,745
but like I didn't really wanna
even hear my own advise.
110
00:09:34,297 --> 00:09:37,335
It's honestly gonna be quite
surprising if this is successful
111
00:09:38,267 --> 00:09:42,133
I shouldn't say that but that's
honestly the way that I feel.
112
00:09:42,789 --> 00:09:43,997
I am ready.
113
00:09:45,481 --> 00:09:46,482
Dropping.
114
00:09:56,009 --> 00:09:58,218
Fuck, no I fucked it up.
115
00:10:00,047 --> 00:10:02,222
Ah guys, I totally screwed that
up, I'm so sorry.
116
00:10:04,224 --> 00:10:06,778
Can we scurry you back up and
set up for the next thing.
117
00:10:06,813 --> 00:10:12,681
I did a 20 second exposure for
the action photo, so I got a big
smear brightness down the
entire thing.
118
00:10:16,374 --> 00:10:17,375
I am ready
119
00:10:17,582 --> 00:10:18,583
Dropping
120
00:10:20,758 --> 00:10:26,695
Sorry guys, no bueno on that one
can we keep hiking, things are
still lining up we got this.
121
00:10:26,729 --> 00:10:30,181
I just need to figure out what
was going on with some headlamps
there,
122
00:10:30,215 --> 00:10:31,216
it doesn't quite look right.
123
00:10:35,704 --> 00:10:37,395
Don't you dare be gone.
124
00:10:40,847 --> 00:10:44,885
That was weird, what happened,
I don't know...
125
00:11:02,006 --> 00:11:07,183
One, two, three, four...
twenty seconds
126
00:11:36,488 --> 00:11:39,077
We got it guys,
127
00:11:39,388 --> 00:11:41,390
thank you so much,
128
00:11:42,322 --> 00:11:44,358
oh my god!
129
00:11:45,049 --> 00:11:48,293
We got it? 100%?
130
00:11:49,605 --> 00:11:53,402
Yea, like it's a pretty
damn cool image.
131
00:11:53,436 --> 00:11:55,749
Wow, oh my...
132
00:11:55,784 --> 00:11:57,786
Here you're doing the turn...
133
00:11:57,820 --> 00:11:59,373
Dude, what...
134
00:12:00,133 --> 00:12:02,100
You are fucking skiing in space!
135
00:12:02,135 --> 00:12:05,586
You're skiing in space dude!
That's insane!
