First Timelapse

[supernova1965]

Hi all,

I have finished my first timelapse of a pair of sunbirds building their nest unfortunately I missed getting them there at the same time:sadeyes:. Thanks Al for the music:thumbsup:. Nearly 2 weeks condensed to about 1 1/2 min's.

Thats wicked Warren!
Are they still building?
Your going to have to have the camera ready for when the little ones come out!
Is it shot at your house?
Awesome!

Yes Bart they still have a few finishing touches to do and I will try to get some of the little ones. The nest is only 10 feet from our front door under our carport.:D:thumbsup:

Nice work mate. I would try tidying it up by cropping every image, using the three white things in the background as markers so that every frame is identical and doesn't jump around so much.

Man you must have a lot of patience.

The thought did cross my mind Baz but my patience wore thin when I thought about the fact that there are almost 400 individual pic's:P:D:rofl:. Is it possible to crop a video:question: OOPS that wouldn't work:screwy:

[bartman]

Of course you can!!!! Just plant the frames in a bit of fertile ram memory and let the server farm do the rest.......:D

Thanks for this marvellous insight into the lives of these beautiful creatures. I love the in-flight frames as the birds approach the nest.:)

Great work!:thumbsup:

Cheers

Well done Warren, that's an excellent first go.

I'm about to attempt my first timelapse as well of a "Giant Atlantic" Pumpkin growing to fruition. Don't know how it will go over the next few months but it could be an interesting learning curve.

Cheers
