    Lost Horizon Creative proudly presents "Light Side Up." Pushing the limits of the Sony a7S III and the very boundaries of nature photography itself, a team of three nature photographers set off to Fairbanks, Alaska to capture cinematic footage of the aurora borealis from the stratosphere.

    HUGE thank you to Sony Alpha and Breakthrough Photography for helping make this a reality! We genuinely could not have done this without them. (Also, since everyone is asking, Sony was very understanding about the camera, and they were the ones who encouraged us to go for it!)

      I shared it with others to view , yes, the view of the Aurora is a spectacular phenominum . Interestingly I too am amoured with this exquisite creation
      I would love to send you a thank you card for this video I have seen the Aurora almost capping the earth in a space view but it was a shot from a space vehicle years ago , this video actually surpassed that picture vastly, it brought us under the Auroras canopy of fabulous emerald green beauty and it felt marvelous
      Interestingly the Bible mentions God’s throne as being surrounded by an Emerald green glow and brightness
      And the earth as Gods foot stool with the matching of the green is so interesting as a foot stool to the Throne ?
      Again thank you and so glad you accomplished your quest The feeling it gives us is so lifting and etherial
      Again thank you

      Keepfaith@outlook.com A huge THANK YOU & APPRECIATION for all your efforts in bringing us a BEAUTIFULLY AWESOME above the clouds view. Your teams efforts kind of reminded me of that movie "Twister" in trying to get that "one-of-a-kind-view" to share with others. I could just feel all the raw emotions you all were experiencing, but you never gave up. I'm so glad that at the end of the video all of you were BLESSED. GOD gave all of us this beautiful planet to explore as it merits his GLORY, but not many people seem to care anymore. Thanks for sharing.

    Just got done watching one of the best shows of my life. I've seen them three times from Northern MN. Tonight they gave me a sense of the truly sublime. There is NOTHING LIKE THEM. To witness this ghostly pagan presence that is older then the mountains, older than the ocean. Photographs are cool but they don't capture the alien strangeness of it, how the sky glitches and radiates-the actual curtains that the cameras pick up are gorgeous but only one element of the whole phenomenon. The hair on my neck is still standing.

  • @subzerostudioandersonalask2007

    I cried with you when the first one failed. How painful, and then to make a decision to do it again! Wow, it was a rollercoaster ride of a film. One really sweet moment for me was your second launch. As Im watching you set it up I realized you were in the town I live, Anderson. I often shoot photos of the Aurora from the same place you launched. Super cool.

  • @CarlMarvin

    My God y'all, that was amazing. Well designed and well executed.
    Seriously got chills when that aurora footage came up...and the perfect pan that looks almost automated? Yowza!
    I'm honestly pretty surprised you guys only failed once. High altitude ballooning isn't easy, and I'm so glad you all got back up and tried again.
    Also...so you're saying there's a brand new a7siii, a wide angle lens, and a few inreaches just chillin' out in the Alaskan tundra somewhere? 🤔😉

    Really Great!!! BZ!! Back in '76 I was in the Navy on the USS John F. Kennedy and we were above the arctic circle (Blue Nose) on the Atlantic and I was working the flight deck between launch and recovery and on night check (a 12hr shift). I got to watch aircraft fly through the ARORA with their lights flashing some blue (refuelers) most red but F-14's had green side markers about half the ships aircraft flying to and fro over open dark ocean. Watching aircraft launch into the arora was awesome, like it was on the surface of the water. Your video flying right under the arora brought that view back like it was yesterday. I hope you get the opportunity to ride an Aircraft Carrier while it heads through the arora and take pictures and video while it seems to flow through you the whole night and many nights there after, a cruise ship can not copy the view of the christmas like lights floating through the air.
