Alaska Winter Solstice Timelapse
Fairbanks, Alaska, U.S. - Winter days are cold and short. This timelapse compresses 3 hours, 40 minutes into a video 1 minute, 15 seconds long. The interval between images is 10 seconds. The view is south toward the Alaska Mountain Range. © Eric Muehling. All rights reserved.
CAMERA: Images were shot in RAW format using a Canon EOS 70D camera. Camera settings: Image preview off, Auto power off Disabled, ISO Auto range 100-800, Av, F8. The Canon camera had a 2-battery grip to extend battery life.
LENS: Tokina F2.8 11-16mm lens set at 14mm on manual focus (infinity).
INTERVALOMETER: Vello Wireless Shutterboss.
EDITING: Raw images (5472x3648) @ 20mb were converted to lower-resolution (1920x1080) jpeg using Adobe Lightroom. Post production with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere.
The outside temperature was -6 degrees (F). The camera and intervalometer were inside an insulated, heated plastic tub. The lens extended through a hold cut into the side of the tub. A 12-volt (deep cycle) vehicle battery kept a light on inside the plastic tub to keep the camera and intervalometer warm. The temperature inside the tub was 6 degrees (F).
I hope these technical details help you to make a good timelapse video.

Thanks for posting this. I've been showing my students a photo taken in Fairbanks on the solstice, but now I have this to show them.
Even when the sun is up, it’s so low that it still looks dim. Imagine months of not getting good quality sunlight? Sucks

Last winter I was at Helsinki airport for like 12 hours and it was like this. Very strange day as it looked like sunset all day.
I lived in Finland for MANY years smack in the center, in a township called Tampere. This becomes normal and you get used to it. On the otherhand though, in the SUMMER the Sun barely dips below the horizon giving us 24 hours of light!

Here in England sunrise on the solstice 3:51 and sunset 9:48. The darkest it gets is like a dark blue sky with a bit of a orange trail at the bottom,the sun only tilts 14 degrees below the horizon here.
Looks very nice with the snow cover and the sun being low in the sky all day. It makes the snow look beautiful and orange. This is definitely not depressing in my opinion.
Much more positive than on a polar night! Thanks for posting!
Amazing Video! For the first time I felt how might it feel living in Alaska during the winter solstice!
Crazy how the sun skims the horizon
Very nicely framed with solar noon happening right above the road in the middle of the screen :) Although, these cold and short days on northern latitudes around this time of the year are depressing, the good news is that things can only get brighter going forward, hello sunshine and warmth...
Awesome footage!! 😍

Winter solstice here in Whitehorse Yukon canada at 61 degrees north latitude. Daylight hours: 11:09-16:47. 5 hours and 38 minutes of sunlight Nighttime hours: 16:47-11:09. 18 hours and 22 minutes of twilight and dark.

not really. the Sun is not a lightbulb. it is not completely pitch dark until 10:07. Likely on a clear day, there is going to be a fairly substantial period of twilight, and depending on how bright you would want it that twilight can add at least another 2 hours of semi-light, minimum, if not more. Even beyond the artic circle, there are still at least a few hours of visible light.

Which is not true. The closer the sun comes to the observer, the higher it's on the sky and because it's coming a little closer in the noonday even in Alaska, it appears to go up. SImple perspective.

It’s because of the low sun angle that’s why in the summer in the afternoon the sun literally burns your skin because its angle is higher and the uv rays are stronger
I wonder how the shortwave reception is there during those long evening hours

Now during the summer, just the opposite, there is only a couple of hours where it’s like twilight then daylight. It’s took a while to be able to sleep when it was daylight during the night. We actually played baseball on base at midnight and didn’t need the field lights.

If this was the solstice...then the answer is 1. The day before there was slightly more daylight, the day before that, slightly more by around 1 minute. This day is the the least amount if daylight. Every day after this day there is about 1minute more daylight until the summer solstice, in June when the sun rises at 3am and sets at 1am. After that date, each day is slight less daylight by about a minute until the winter solstice
