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.

    you know, after attempting to do something like this first hand. It's not as simple as it looks. You did a really amazing job with the color and keeping it still... especially with no tri-pod! I did so many mess ups that I had to cover it all up by making it look like I did it on purpose. Again, great job.

    p.s.- I heard Shadow Play on the radio today and it got me jazzed to finish it.

    What radio station plays Shadow Play? I am so jealous. Your piece was great. Watch it here.

    It's a seattle non-commerical radio station called KEXP 90.3. check it 'em out at kexp.org and you can get listen to them online, they do tons of great in-studio performances. I love that station.

    I don't know if you're still interested, but I recently found out you can use a graphing calculator to trigger shutter release through the link cable. I had one laying around from school, so it was cheaper than buying a timer. Here's the tutorial.
