Miami skyline with a difference, timelapse

[Richard Peters]

I wasn't sure where to post this but seeing as it's technically made up of many still photos (over 2300 in fact) I guess this is as good a place as any?!

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...link is to my blog by the way as I couldn't get a YouTube video to embed on here?! Plus there is more info about shooting the video and a little 'behind the scenes' vid I did for fun.

Hope you enjoy :)

P.S. Al, Fabs, you especially might recognise the location the first sunrise/street scenes were taken from...;)

Hi Richard

Fabs saw you at the parking lot taking some of the pics, you were so concentrated did not noticed :D:) The video looks great and really like the music, goes perfectly with the images. Bummer I am on a trip and could not watch you working !! It is a labor of love !!! .... btw will be able to post videos soon !!!

Ah she should have come over and said hello. I had sort of zoned out a bit out on the roof as doing timelapse can be a bit boring lol

Hopefully we can get together next time I'm over :)

LOL, I called you a few times and you were so concentrated you didn't hear me :) so I decided not to interrupt.
Hopefully together next time.

Awesome video!

lol I'm sooooo sorry I didn't hear you. It's those loud fans on the carpark roof that I blame, honest!! lol. Next time just walk right over and prod me with a stick :D
