Great stuff! I was to Mt. Baker once, such a beautiful area!
Two questions though.....I don't remember seeing the vent in the video, does Mt. Baker still vent? When I was last there, 15 years ago, you could see the steam coming up....I don't recall seeing that in the video, but possibly you were on another part of the mountain.
Thanks!
I actually didn't know that Baker was still actively venting steam on occasion. I googled it and apparently it still does, but the view of Baker you are seeing in the video is of the Northeast flank which is less commonly photographed compared to the more iconic views of the West flanks from the Fraser Valley or Bellingham areas. It's also possible it just wasn't venting at this point. The other prominent peak you see in the video is Mt. Shuksan, which is apparently the other most photographed mountain in this area due to its spectacular rugged appearance. All of this footage was acquired approximately in-between those two peaks near Artist Point and a couple other spots.
As for the Metallica, I didn't do anything special, just embedded it into the movie when I was editing it together. Perhaps YouTube will figure it out and block it but I hope not, as I think the song works really well with the video! Maybe we here in Canada have different YouTube song rights than you do in America? |
