    This is great. A few day time lapse of something like this would make a great screen saver. Or something a bit more subtle some sort of moving background.

    That's awesome! Were you sitting there pressing the shutter every 5 seconds?
  • apsk121 3 years ago
    He has this contraption that you can plug into the camera and it'll click the shutter at the selected time interval.

    That just shows what a little patience will get you. Really good stuff. But tell me, just how many individual frames did you have to import into your editing app? Or is there a piece of software that handled this for you?

    Really nicely done. I've been meaning to do slow shutter speed experiments on time lapse stuff to see if I can inject a more blurry motion into things but haven't gotten round to it yet.

    I'll definitely try that out next time.

    Absolutely perfectly made!
    I like the contrasts particularly.
    Everywhere is movement, and everything seems to be very loud and noisy.....
    But the centre of the picture is the exception, no movement!
    It reminds me to pause also once more.

    Great job! thanks!

    do you use an intervalometer. I would do timelapses but its very difficult with out an intervalometer. Do you have any tips.
