I have been so inspired by the users here that I needed to join and add a segment that was inspired by the many beautiful time lapse segments here on Vimeo.

This is my first attempt at digital photography time lapse and I know there are many flaws but critique is encouraged.

Unfortunately as I was driving home from work a poor dairy farmers hay stack was on fire.

All shot with Canon D40 with no tripod (I know I need one as my segment jumps) but camera on top of my Mini Cooper and manually adjusting exposure for about 1.5 hours. I also want the Canon TC-80N3 but until then I have only my finger. Over 450 images were captured. Edited with FCP with many slow motions and speed adjusted. A few shots were layered with composite mode used with the add feature and the top layer adjusted just 2 frames ahead of the other. A HUGE THANK YOU to Dalas Verdugo for his segment that gave me that idea.
