60 Second Landscape Challenge

Erik here with a quick little weekend video challenge for y’all. In the spirit of Chase’s 60 Second Portraits, we’ve been toying with AND wanna see some of YOUR… 60 Second Landscapes.

So here’s a challenge from us to you: Grab your video-capable capturing device and hit the streets/mountains/beaches/what-have-you’s and roll a quick one minute on the best landscape you can find. Perhaps shoot a bunch and then select your favorite. Then, post your results to YouTube with a “Chase Jarvis Weekend Challenge” tag and post a link in the comments section of this post so we can see ‘em and share ’em. If you feel like following some rules, we’ve got a few guidelines to follow:

Keep your landscapes to 60 seconds (obviously).
No cuts. Keep it to one shot.
No timelapses, just a straight up realtime view of the world in front of you.
Include music if you want, but we dig hearing the ambient sounds of the view.

That’s it. Short and simple, but sorta beautiful. Our take is that this is easy and fresh – but we want to see your take. I’ll see if I can shake Chase down for some gifts if some cool videos are posted. Here’s my entry:
