  • We have made it to the holiest city for Hindus and one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, Varanasi. Every night by the Ganges River at the main Dasaswamedh Ghat, a Ganga Aarti ceremony is performed with puja, fire, songs, and choreographed dance. Diya offerings are floated down the river, bells ring throughout the night air, as we wait for sunrise, and the morning river boat cruise. The Ganga Aarti is performed at three cities in India nightly, Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Varanasi.
    Technical notes: Shot in 1080p HD with a Canon 60D camera. Special thanks to Stephen McKenzie / Ambiophyle for letting us use his track "Birth of Light"! Visit his artist page at www.mp3unsigned...

    Hace escasamente cinco dias que llegre de la India, mi ultima escala en el país fue Venarassi, todavia tengo presente el sonido, el olor, el color, simplemente con cerrar los ojos estoy presente dentro de este ritual....Fue IMPACTANTE, todo un HONOR poder participar en el, depositar nuestras lamparillas encendidas en el Gangas, el sonido de las caracolas ,el de las campanillas, los mantras....lo tengo muy vivo

    we thought the music suited the occasion, and we like to put in our own interpretation of our travels. after all there are already lots of videos that just document the aarti without any editing.

    thank you! this video was shot on a canon 60D with a cheap 50mm F1.8 lens. 30 frames per second at 1/50 shutter speed (to prevent light flickering because electricity in India is 50Hz - 1/60 would be the normal shutter speed for 30 fps). we should have taken off the UV filter as it caused the reflections of the light sources that you see as inverted green lights.

  • @frankandjen
    @frankandjen  Před 12 lety

    the iso was set to get a proper exposure. here it was probably 400 or 640 because F1.8 was pretty bright. in a different situation you may have very different settings.

    Ok thanks for your advise will play around with aperture and shutter speed settings if all else fails will use automatic settings :)

  • @frankandjen
    @frankandjen  Před 12 lety

    enjoy greece! in broad daylight you will find that you need to stop down the aperture or use a faster shutter speed or even both. they both could have undesirable effects depending on the look you are going for. to control the amount of light entering the camera during the day, it's best to have an ND filter available. we had a circular polarizer filter while traveling in India which could act as a weak ND filter. there's lots of information online. have fun!

    Beautiful images but...that "humdrum" music (min 3:00) is a mistake. Nothing like the live sound. The most I remember of this ceremony is the perfect "crescendo" till the end.

  • @shivamantra
    @shivamantra Před 12 lety

    can you tell me what settings you used to get such a great video ? absolute heaven , thanks for your wonderful vids.

    Beautifully captured. The music was a bit silly though

  • @shivamantra
    @shivamantra Před 12 lety

    Thanks for your reply I have recently brought a 60d so very new to using it, watching your videos was one of the reasons I brought it because of the nice films you make. What ISO did you use if you don't mind ?

  • @emperor0989
    @emperor0989 Před 11 lety

    nice video. is this the Vedic (Aryan) culture, Hinduism?

  • @Kirinji1kirinji

    Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I "borrowed" your video description for one of my photographs on flickr. It was taken at the same ghat, and is of the same ceremony. I was looking for a good description and stumbled upon your video. I credited you both (Frank & Jen, I'm assuming). Let me know if you have any problem.
