Millions of visitors a year come to Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park, one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the most visited national park in the western United States. However, on extremely rare days when cold air is trapped in the canyon and topped by a layer of warm air, which in combination with moisture and condensation, form the phenomenon referred to as the full cloud inversion. In what resembles something between ocean waves and fast clouds, Grand Canyon is completely obscured by fog, making the visitors feel as if they are walking on clouds.
This video was filmed as part of SKYGLOW (skyglowproject.com), an ongoing crowdfunded quest to explore the effects and dangers of urban light pollution in contrast with some of the most incredible dark sky areas in North America. This project is being produced in collaboration with International Dark-Sky Association (darksky.org), a non-profit fighting for the preservation of night skies around the globe.
The film was shot on Canon 5DSR & 5DIII cameras & lenses sponsored by Canon USA, aided by Alpine Labs' Michron & Pulse, powered by Paul C. Buff Vagabond Mini. LRTimelapse was used to process some of the shots.

Very cool website. Some amazing pics. Thanks for sharing.
I did some photos years ago in some dilapidated urban settings. Extremely long exposures. During some of the exposures I would walk through the settings. Just enough light from nearby streets so I could see my way around debris. Just playing around I would pause and trigger a Vivitar 283 flash I had in my hand and flash it off a brick wall maybe 30 feet away. I ended up with a faint image of myself in the scene that looked like a ghost. Just a barely visible image of a human form. I wish I knew where those negatives disappeared to. I was shooting Ilford Pan F at the time. 25 ASA. Or ISO as we now call it. I think on those long exposures with the star trails you focus on the North star and everything seems to revolve around it. I'm not positive about that. I know we have a lot of astronomy fans here. Maybe somebody will provide more info.
