It's Life in Fast Forward

Much like my dabbling in HDR shooting, I've always wanted to try a hand at doing some time lapse photography. Most pro-sumer and professional camera bodies have interval timers built into them, but I'd never given it a try.

These are really just test shots at this point. I was excited that some stars came out for that last shot, but then the clouds rolled in after only a few minutes of letting the camera shoot!

All of this footage is rendered at 24 frames a second, shot at 10 second intervals that means that it takes 4 minutes to yield just one second of footage. Obviously this meant a lot of me babysitting the camera and/or working outside.

Eventually I'd really want to get out to wine country, or someplace far from the city and its light pollution to really nail some epic star shots. I will totally do it, so stay tuned!
