Thought it would be an idea to collate some timelapses in one thread, so that we can share techniques and critique.

This is something that has grabbed my interest recently and hopefully others too. I'm no expert but I'll start with a short timelapse I made of the Brisbane river taken from day to night in an apartment balcony.

Available in 1080p
Settings:
F-stop 7.1
Exposure time 2 sec
ISO 200

Feel free to critique, ask questions and share your own work! :)
 
I love these!

Makes me want to visit now...

Do you have any going forward a bit longer to sun rise?
 
great idea for a thread! I love timelapse videos. Its something I Really want to try myself.

Ok. I'll bite. Only done one one Youtube. "Manual" timing. Set camera to 10 second delay. Press shutter. Wait for camera to take picture. Press shutter again.

This next one is an animated GIF. Me making a "Pilot" 4m^2 kite. This was in response to someone on a kite forum who was making one and every week, he was giving updates on his progress. I made mine in 148 minutes from laying out the fabric for cutting on the floor to packing the finished kite into a bag. One frame a minute. Using a friends' release. I now have a release of my own.

Note that in our front room, we have a MDF floor where I can use a heat cutting tool and an industrial sewing machine.

Unfortunately not, didn't get much time to do timelapses during my holiday due to a busy schedule. Also the sunrise was about 100 degrees to the left with a bit of a boring view.

Should give it a go! I really like the work you do, especially your previous months entry, fantastically complex and well executed. The timelapse I have done is very simple in comparison. :)

Nice video, how did you work out the exposure settings for both day and night?

I just set the exposure for the start of the timelapse and left it at that, it gives a more natural feel as otherwise the camera will try to compensate often resulting in the timelapse flickering if you for example leave AWB on. I found it was important to set and leave everything manually (turn off all the automatic settings) to make the timelapse smooth.

Hope that helps.

Thats amazing!

If only i could have the patience to do something like that:rolleyes:
 

heres mine i did in march this year in my back garden, nothing special, music is angels and airwaves :D
 
That's the first and last time i'm doing a timelapse manually.. lol. Don't have a timer remote, so I shot every about 2 seconds, give or take lol, for over an hour. Couldn't use a tripod, so my arm aches now :(
But i'm really pleased with the result considering it's the first time i've tried anything like this. Will have to wait until september before i can get it sorted though because i'm not at home.

Just a quick question.. do I do a batch post processing of simple tweaks? Or just leave it as is?
