Absolutely beautiful. Can you talk abit about your exposure settings, and how/where you shot it?

Thanks for the Comments!

Here's a rundown on my settings:

For this video I shot 30 second exposures (@ f2.8 on both the Tokina 16-28mm & Canon 15mm fisheye) , ISO 3200, White Balance 3400K, 5 second intervals. ( One 30 second exposure...wait 5 seconds....30second exposure..repeat)

The intervalometer I used was a Satechi TR-A remote timer. (For the non dolly shots). & The Dynamic Perceptions Stage Zero Dolly w/ MX2 controller for the moving shots.

Shot between late November 2011 - Jan 2012 on my families ranch in central Texas.
