My first timelapse, Miami...

[Silverpenguin]

Wasn't sure where best to post this?!

Ok so this is my first attempt at doing timelapse (time-lapse, time lapse, seen it spelt all three ways online!) and I'm pleased with how it came out as an experiment in what does and does not work. It's certainly not as easy as I thought it might be, with how to set the camera, looking out for dust spots, working out how the light might change during the fixed exposures and of course the sheer amount of time you have to put in to it. Still, here we go...



Also, link is to my blog where there is more info about shooting the video and a little 'behind the scenes' vid I did for fun.

I am always fascinated by Time lapse, but I was never brave enough to try it. Excellent first attempt!

how do you get your camera to count down and take shots like that ? or is it even possible with a Canon Xsi ?

This was totally one of the best I've seen ... wow.
I won't even pretend that I could do that!

You need the Canon TC-80N3 timer remote. It'll work for the XSi.

Thank you for the kind comments all

Yep you need a intervoltmeter with Canons like the one above. Nikon DSLRs have an interval shooting mode built in as standard.

Where is the interval shooting mode on a Nikon D80?
