19. Zoom H4n + Canon 5D Mark II + Timelapse @ 9000ft
1 month ago
Ok, it's official, I'm in love with timelapse. It gives me the same feelings I get when I shoot real film and don't get to see what I have until later which is like a micro Christmas with micro reindeer and tiny little cookies for a tiny little fictitious character named Santa.. love it.

The part of the story that I was not very fond of was the part that I leave my house at near sea level and think, "ahh, it won't be that cold.." and proceed to put on a pair of Chuck Taylors, jeans, t-shirt and light jacket.. Holy freezer nuts frosty, it was DAMN cold.. Although the thermometer in my car could have been wrong when it swore it was 44deg.. I know, you guys are going to kill me for this " 44 ?, that's nothing " but at 9000 ft the combination of thin air and Hawaiian blood caused me to spend most of the 2 hours it took to capture this in the fetal position, or with the car running every 10 mins..

Anyhow, I ordered the Milapse head, ( thanks guys ), and figured I might as well get a little better at regular stationary shots in the meantime..

I was thinking of trying a shot with a studio strobe that goes off with every shot.. Has anyone tried this yet ?

    continual 5 second exposures for 1296 shots
    6400 iso/ASA
    F.5.6 only because F4 was a little too soft

    Ah that explains all the noise, really cool spot nonetheless.

    You should throw a color filter on this; that yellow from all the sodium lamps and headlights would look way cooler as a blue or green, even a purple.

    Do you have the Exif information on a single photo? I'm curious as to how you set up the picture. AV? Shutter? ISO? Looks awesome.

    This feels like magic. What a wonderful place. What an unusual view. It looks a bit noisy (oh well... 6400 iso) but you got the light perfect. Thanks for sharing. Great job.

  • Wow.... I don't know, just, the word 'Awesome' doesn't cut it... Hermosísimo...

    Thank you for making this.

    Greetings from Puerto Rico, (I'm the one that recently bought you a RedHead, ;) )

    P.S. I'm a music student, and that song has some interesting elements, could you check the artisan who composed it? or at least get the name? Thanks!

  • Not sure if anyone has addressed your question or not. I don't have enough time to read all of the comments, but in regards to your question about using a studio strobe for every frame of the time lapse, I'm not sure that it will give you satisfactory results. I did a stationary time lapse not long ago with a strobe and realized that the strobe output was not consistent from frame to frame. It probably has to do with the capacitors having a margin of error, but it gave a heavy flicker effect. I would suggest doing a test before subjecting yourself to harsh weather conditions just to find that it ruined a perfectly good time lapse. I think the way to go would to have a tungsten kit, but then power becomes a major issue. Hope this helps.
