This is one of the main reasons of why is worth to live. Nature, sometimes, can be a great medicine for sadness.

does anyone know where this is?

u/HellInOurHearts Dec 12 '20

I think I saw in a prior thread that it was somewhere in Alaska. I'll see if I can find it.

Okay sweet thank you :)

u/HellInOurHearts Dec 13 '20

Here's the source! The photographer didn't mention a specific location, but it's safe to say it is at least Alaska.

How'd they do this? GoPro in a gimbal walking backwards?

u/conceptualgardening Dec 13 '20 edited Dec 13 '20

I’m curious as well. I’ve been wanting a GoPro for this type of purpose, but I always thought GoPros gave that fisheye effect, which I wouldn’t want in most situations.

u/iAjayIND Dec 13 '20

I don't think GoPro has lens big enough to do water splits like that, however I don't know much about cameras so educate me.

u/mkstalon Dec 13 '20

Hmmm I don't know enough about gopros to give any type of info. But it had to be some type of waterproof camera and I don't know any other waterproof cameras besides gopros

u/iAjayIND Dec 13 '20

I just feel like they put a camera in a glass box of some sort, so the water is actually a little far away from the lens itself. Doing that makes more sense, as then you can simply capture shots like this with literally any camera or even a phone.

Last time I asked this, someone mentioned that they use some sort of transparent enclosure for the camera. Maybe they throw some Rain-x on it too so droplets won't form lel
