So this is my first edit with just some nature / random shots. Let me know what you think. Advice / criticism is more than welcome!

I liked it.



The song was enjoyable and I liked all the animal footage. You have the world's cutest puppy. A few shots could have used some stabilization though. You clearly have a tripod, and I think it would look a tad nicer if you used it for most of your stuff.

Where do you live? and what type of spider was that?

I liked the chillness of the overall video and your puppy is awesome

Well i was born and raised on Tortola (British Virgin Island) and moved to the states to get a good education (my parents choice) then i started skiing. now my parents moved back and i live in CO in the winters and BVI in the summers.

Sick song, except the vocals were a bit harsh for me. The mood was very nice, i liked the mix of handheld and tripod shots. the sunset timelapse was pretty good, minus the obvious stabilation adjustments needed. I want your puppy. And the rain shots were pretty cool. Ill give it a 8.5/10, respectivly. Nice work my friend.

Thanks! Yeah the sunset timelaps was all shot on a tripod and i was manually pushing the button to take pictures so it was kind of all over the place. Dont have an intervelometer yet.

Its this thing that you plug into your camera and you can set it to take a picture at intervals. its how you do time lapses on a DSLR. you can also use them for the BULB shutter speed setting to keep the shutter open for set amounts of time.
