He'd in no way shot anything like this before, so that you could put together, he packed four cameras and five lenses. as soon as his tools become equipped, Watson headed to a hill that overlooks the town.
"I arrived about two hours before launch time (1827 Arizona time) to have my tools prepped and equipped for action," he recollects. "I commenced rolling the time-lapse sequences approximately forty five minutes previous to launch to capture some lead in footage....
"Then after what regarded like a while, however in reality probably simplest a minute or two the Falcon 9 rocket blasted into the horizon and my cameras’ field of view.
"i used to be a bit off target on my preliminary shot, however way to the excessive resolution issue of shooting time-lapse on the Nikon D810 and wide perspective lens, i used to be capable of crop into the 6K time-lapse collection and salvage the framing," he concludes.
