Olympic Sunset



Went to Alki Beach for the first time, and had a great view of the sunset. I had to pull out my pclix and get a quick time lapse.

The sun is setting over the Olympic mountains in the distance and Bainbridge Island and Kitsap Peninsula in the foreground. This is shot from Alki Beach off of 63rd Ave.

The interval is 1 second, with an aperature of f/14 and shutter speed of 1/500 ms.

Seattle Time Lapse 2: Capitol Hill



Time lapse of different views in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. It starts near my apartment and cuts through to Broadway and Lake Union. Then down Broadway and back along Pine St and 15th Ave.

I used mostly 1 second and 2 second intervals. I allowed longer shutter speed for evening shots, to give a kool effect for bleeding car lights. I also did this to an insane degree for the shot of I-5, with a nearly 3 second interval.

All these shots are from 2 months ago. I wanted to add more, but the season has changed quite a bit, and I thought it would be odd for some shots to have people in t-shirts and shorts and other shots with people in hoodies. I will simply start on another time lapse project.

My Apologies

Hi all,

I apologise for not making any new posts in a while. My grandfather recently passed away (which was very sad.) I brought my pclix to SLC as I was hoping to get some time lapse shots while in town. Unfortunately, not only did I not have any opportunities for any shots, but I also left my pclix in SLC! I was not able to recover it, and had to cough up another $185 out of my bank account. My replacement pclix just arrived, and I shall resume posting videos to Vimeo. I had already started on Seattle Time Lapse 2. I have 2495 frames so far. I plan to finish the video soon.

Will
