morturn Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Download Link to BeechbrookThe Severn Bore, a timelapse filmed from Newnham churchyard on 4 June 2012.A bore is a naturally occurring tidal wave which forms as the rising tide forces a large volume of water through a narrowing river channel with a rising river bed. Bores only occur during high tide in the lower reaches of a few rivers with large tidal ranges throughout the world.The Severn Estuary has the second highest tidal range in the world. In any one day the difference between the highest and lowest tide can be more than 14.5 metres.This bore was classed as a one star bore, with a tide of 9.1 meters at Sharpness, as five star bore is much more impressive.The Severn Bore has an average speed of 16km per hour and can reach two metres in height. The size of the bore can be affected by opposing winds or high fresh-water levels which reduce its height and delay its arrival. A following wind can increase its height and speed when it arrives.The name bore comes from the Scandinavian or Icelandic 'bara' meaning a wave, swell or billow.This is the first timelapse I have filmed, It has some flicker, caused by the aperture of the lens. I would like to remove this but without resorting to third party plug-ins.Music; Moments in Space - spinmeisterFile size id 101Mg so it is a big file, 1,700 RAW images in the sequence.Your thoughts or comments are welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
