Seattle time lapse delayed

OK, so I am having a hard time getting the promised Seattle time lapse online, because I am not finding a free video editor that can actually edit video with effects, music, etc. VirtualDub is great for simple one scene shots with no effects, but it is hard to work with for higher level editting. Will get the video up as soon as possible.

New Video Coming: Seattle Timelapse 1

It has been a while since I posted a video. The first few videos were really just tests to get a feel for doing time lapses.

Last weekend, I took my camera and intervalometer and shot 3067 frames of time lapse around downtown Seattle and the waterfront. Soon, I will post a 1 minute video showcasing my first real time lapse video, complete with music.

Also, I received a device which plugs into the cigarette lighter of a car and provides two AC outlets. I will be using this for extended driving time lapses (once I have access to a car).

Cooking Spaghetti

They say a watched pot never boils. But this one boiled in 25 seconds. The noodles were a little out of focus. Plus the camera did not hide how old my stove is.

This video is shot at f/5.6 with shutter speed at 1/10 sec. and ISO-200. The frames are taken at an interval of 1 second and shown at a rate of 24fps.

Dish Washing

Washing dishes after not doing them for a few days. I let the shutter speed vary, which is why the lighting flickers. Will not let shutter speed vary in similar shots.

This video is shot at f/5.6 with varying shutter speed and ISO-100. The frames are taken at an interval of 1 second and shown at a rate of 24fps.

Will Sleeping

Me getting some sleep last night. No wonder I feel sore when I get up in the morning!

This video is shot at f/3.5 with shutter speed 30 seconds and ISO-400. The frames are taken at an interval of 31 seconds and shown at a rate of 24fps.

Test Clouds

This is my first time lapse video. These are some storm clouds rolling over my apartment viewed from inside. Kind of boring, but it is a first step.

The video is shot at f/5.6 with shutter speed 1/50 sec and ISO-100. The frames are taken at an interval of 3 seconds and shown at a rate of 24fps.

Introduction

Hello, I am starting a blog to chronicle my interest in time lapse photography. I have watched many videos on youtube, and am ready to start making my own. I am still waiting for some of my equipment to arrive, so I will be rolling out videos in about a week or so. Enjoy!
