Coming Soon: Seattle Time Lapse 2

So, Seattle Time Lapse 1 was by a wide margin my most popular video. So, I want to do a sequel! I went out and took 2,495 pictures tonight around Republican Street, South Lake Union, Broadway, and Pine Street. I still want to get some shots of Olive Way, Denny Way, and Pike Street. The title of the next video will be "Seattle Time Lapse 2: Capitol Hill". It will consist of a few late afternoon shots followed by some sunset shots and then a lot of night shots. I'm thinking of making a teaser trailer. The video will probably be online next weekend.

Replacing my Motherboard




My Gigabyte GA-P35-DSR4 was a piece of crap, so I replaced it with an ASUS P5K PRO.

This was shot at 1 second interval at aperture f/3.5 and shutter speed 1/2 second. Some of the frames of the closeups of the motherboard were too dark, so I used a filter to make the whole video a little brighter.

Seattle Time Lapse 1




My first real time lapse video (with music!). Shots from around downtown Seattle. Started at Melrose on Capitol Hill, moved to Westlake and Stewart on the way to the waterfront. Lots of shots of the ferry boarding and looking across Elliot Bay.

I found out that my camera can last a very long time on 1 charge, and that my 8GB flash card can hold much more than 5600 pictures.

Shot at 1 frame per second. Varying aperture and shutter speed.
