First of all, let's see what happens approaching Mt. Etna
0:04
It is not bad, there are plenty of distant lights from villages further away, a few streets
0:09
of cars from highways and of course the backdrop of Mt. Etna can be quite spectacular
0:16
It will not be easy to render Mt. Etna properly as we need some good light and hope for the
0:21
best cloud conditions. Therefore we need the best timing and a bit of luck
0:27
what we can make out of the little village. I start with the camera pointing down to the main
0:32
square of the village where a street party with a rock concert is taking place. I make a diagonal
0:38
move keeping the square in the middle of the frame. This one would probably work better as a time lapse
0:44
with a static point of view as there is already plenty of movement going on. But this fellow
0:51
doesn't have a cooling fan and to avoid overheating it relies on the air generating by the movement
0:59
It is not suggested to keep it hovering for 15 minutes, especially in this hot weather
1:05
but we can probably find something more interesting. Then I try a sort of long range shot
1:11
in line with the main street of the village, going backward while descending. There is a good deal
1:17
movement going on, with cars and plenty of people because of the street party
1:22
The distance travel is too long, a shorter and slower move will be more interesting
1:28
Not bad, it could be a starting point to link to the view on Mount Aetna
