Video taken last night of the Solstice Moon.
I originally attempted to head down to Seal Beach to better catch the moon coming up on the horizon, but when I arrived the fog rolled in very heavy and blocked my shot of the sky.
I returned back to Lakewood and climbed up on the roof with a tripod to capture as much of the horizon moon as I could. However, due to Lakewood being more inland (and surrounded by more trees) I had a hard time catching it at the lower horizon. A few minutes before my first capture the moon was huge and orange, it had a sun set like appearance!
This month's full moon is very close to the summer solstice so the ponzo illusion (where moon appears larger closer to the horizon) of this full moon the should be more noticeable than others.

It was a haphazard shoot because my location changed at the last minute, I used a cheap tripod (wind moved it quite a bit) and I moved the camera around while testing out modes.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Then Hey-presto, you have your own time lapse video ;-)
As I stated I only filmed 15 minutes and a good portion of that was tinkering with settings because it was a night shot. The resulting footage, though it make not look like it was sped up to 400% original speed.
Had I been able to film at the original intended location I'd have let the camera run for an hour, but FOG was an issue! So consider this footage test in every sense of the word.
Regarding equipment, I have thought of purchasing one of those IR intervalometers or even trying to MAKE one myself so I could have a more proper timelapse, I do think still shots make better timelapse in the end.
Thanks for the tips.
