Otherwise the highlights get washed out to nothing. In general you need to start the time-lapse sequence looking on the bright side of the image.

I started each shoot with the camera pointed in the same direction, about 90 degrees from the sun glare. Then I did the same thing with the GoPro looking 45 degrees up. I turned the camera off then collapsed the pole, adjusted the GoPro to 45 degrees down, slid it back up and started shooting again and made another couple of 360 turns. I turned on the Hero3 in the one shot every half second mode and then just turned the pole around a couple of times. 7 meters is a long way up there.ДЄt first I thought I might have a problem keeping the pole perfectly vertical but it was so long it had to stay vertical or it got hard to hold upright. It doubled as a clunky walking stick on the way to the swimming pool and when we got there I screwed on the GoPro mount, turned on the GoPro wireless, and extended the poles. I epoxied a 1/4 X 20 screw in the end so I could mount my teeny little GoPro Hero 3 on it. Cost $20 and was made from some kind of rigid fiber-reinforced plastic. Last Friday I happened to find a 7 meter long telescoping fishing pole in the supermarket. I had made a sphere image sphere image here in 2008 but didn't think it really gave a good perspective of the round, clear pool with the little waterfall.

There is a short walk of about half a kilometer from where you park your car at the 'ancient refuge' picnic area. The Parc de la Riviere Bleue is an hour drive from Noumea and this iconic swimming hole is a 40 minute drive from the park entrance.
