Closer to Nature

Capturing the Magic of Plitvice Lakes with My Insta360

The Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a place where nature's artistry is on full display - cascading waterfalls, vibrant lakes, and lush forests that seem straight out of a fairy tale.
My recent adventure there was not just about experiencing this UNESCO World Heritage site but also about capturing its beauty in a way that traditional videography might miss.

Armed with my Insta360 camera and an invisible selfie stick, I embarked on a mission to film this natural wonder from perspectives that are both intimate and expansive.

My Camera and gear

- Insta360 Camera: Its ability to record in 360 degrees meant I could capture the full spectrum of Plitvice's beauty without missing a beat.

- Invisible Selfie Stick: This allowed me to sweep through the environment, getting close to the action or to the opposite direction! It was all up to me. 

Filming tips

- Swinging for the Best Angles: With the selfie stick, I could swing the camera in wide arcs over lakes, close to waterfalls. Or swing your selfie stick high up in the air above you to get bird's eyes view.  This method gave me shots that felt like you were gliding through the park.

Post Production

- Reframing Nature: The real magic happened in editing. I could choose the perfect angle from any moment, crafting a narrative that takes viewers through the park as if they were there. From the rush of water to the green reflections in the lakes, every shot was an opportunity to tell a story.

My Insta360 and invisible selfie stick were more than just tools; they were my partners in this dance with nature. If you are ready to shoot your own videos, use my code INRJ9QK to get a free accessory like a selfie stick with your insta360.com camera purchase.
