First Timelapses

[LizardKing]

Hello there!

A while ago I gave a brief attempt at timelapses and I kinda liked the results. This is nothing like those amazing HD Timelapse videos you see out there, but I was trying to learn the basics. Maybe in the future I'll come back with something better. :mrgreen:

I see a lot of room for improvement but it never hurts to get some honest criticism to see if we're missing something important.

It only allows me to include 1 video, so I'll just put the link for the other 3


Love the shifting colors on these 2, specially by the last third of each.

Neat stuff. It's a good start. I started messing around with it a couple months ago and through trial and error I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Making checklists for the set up & work flow is key. If you forget one thing you could easily waste hours and a couple thousand shutter actuations.... But it sure is fun to see the results!

There a couple I finished and uploaded:

Try cars at night! You really have to nail the shutter speed so you don't quick flashes of light or just constant streaks. Then go for stars. That's actually how I stumbled upon time lapse. I was shooting a bunch of star images to stitch and turns out it made a better time lapse!

This is what got me started on photography in the first place:
