Bushlapse from ASIGN

[bloodhound31]

I have been sitting on these images for quite some time now. I think I have taken the standard 18-55mm Canon lens to it's limits here and haven't really been satisfied enough with the results to make individual videos.

It's seemed a bit of a shame to waste all this capture though, so I put them together for a bit of a composite movie.

In a 35 second exposure, with stretching in el-cheapo and limited batch processors, this is about the limit of 18mm at F/3.5.

Someone give me a F/1.8!!! PLeeeeaaasssseeee..

Very nice Baz... Shame about the clouds every now and then.. although they added a nice touch of perspective I suppose..

I would love to do something like this... Might give it a go next month at dark skies...

Baz, that Youtube video is haunting. I showed the wife & kids. We all loved it. I like how you place the tree branches to give perspective.
Damn fine work.I'm going to email this to a few folks.

You're fast becoming the time-lapse video master! Excellent!

PS - I never did get the opportunity to try it up at Astrofest. Found myself too busy imaging, or talking, or drinking, to set it all up :(

Very cool Baz. Another good one. :thumbsup:

Hey that's awesome Baz.

How long between the individual exposures?

I've never seen that before. Great effect.

Greg.

[bloodhound31]

Thanks again all.

Greg, the intervals were 35 second exposures every 8 seconds. It's at the end of the vid in the credits mate.

Cheers,

Baz.

Who hangs around for the movie credits? :)

[gregbradley]

Thanks Baz.

Did you use Images Plus to get your DSLR to take the time lapse or can you program a DSLR to do it? Then again the image files would overwhelm the memory card no?

Greg.

[bloodhound31]

Hi Greg, the tool menu in EOS utility can do it, if you want to plug it into your laptop, but I have power issues so it's usually not pracical. Instead, I use an intervalometer and an 8GB Flash card.

The only reason I have 8 seconds between shots is to allow a bit of a safety time for each image to load into the card from the buffer. Never had a problem yet.

WHAT!!??? :eyepop:TROY!!! you don't watch my credits!!!????:sadeyes::P:lol:

[gregbradley]

Thanks Baz.

That's a cool effect.

Greg.
