Ultimate IISAC11 timelapse compilation now with VIMEO
Hi Guys
Here is a compilation of all the sequences I took at IIASC11, a smoother,more pleasing experience that the short bits Ive posted before.
Its all at 30fps, some 3000 images, I think the smoothness is worth it.
After many months of painfull development, its taken over my life until now  , My Timelapse contoller now has full auto DSLR AP/ISO control in bulb mode (not used in the video). From searching forums and the web generally (and some offers to buy the design, now,any price  ), it seems im the 1st to include fully automatic AP/ISO and exposure time control on a timelapse contoller (in bulb mode), so it can automatically capture a timelapse sequence from full day to night. From 100ms exposures at 50iso f22 to 10secs f1.4 iso3200.
Its been a challenge, and its yet to be really feild proven with a killer timelapse worth posting (the test videos are fatally boring), but Im relieved its finished (barring bugs). Ill post a proper full sunset/sunrise video to prove it as soon as I have one  .

Look out, Tom of Timescapes.
That's fabulous, Fred.
Look forward to heading out somewhere nice and put it through its paces.
I'll get a 24mm f/1.4L.

Wow Fred - brilliant reconstruction. Without that 24mm lens there was little point hanging off the other side of your machine those few evenings. Great fun nonetheless. Can't wait to see the last few mods.

Thankyou for sharing this Fred. Simply stunning. I imagine that if this video could be shown to school kids before they started to learn about our solar system and astronomy they would be more engaged.

I'm interested ( yep like the rest) in the auto AP/ISO etc aspect of the timelapse controller......
Is it controlled by that x ( the name eludes me at the moment ...for some reason I have animoog stuck in my head and cant think of anything else heheheh........ ah andrino there ya go ) chip.
Are you making them/ selling/ providing circuit diagrams?
Would love to know!
Thanks

I've started the Vimeo upload, and it tells me it will take 10hrs, sorry. Well it's free, what can you expect .
Smugmug took just a few minuites.

Just FYI, I had no probs with the link provided( smugmug..... I had no pixelations????).
So I am curious as to why others are having problems.....
Another curious question would be ....why is Vimeo better?
Bartman
cheers

Well, it's bit out of left field"........, no very odd  .
I'm reluctant to show pics of that part of the design, or describe it exactly, but suffice to say I'm using tiny servo motors to turn dials and push buttons on the camera
I'd like it to be unique for a while at least untill I can also make some unique time lapses with it. It seems USB control is an absolute nightmare, which is why no one has done it in a time lapse controller ,although some amatures have done USB control, sort of, but not with a time lapse controller".........yet. Ittle come, soon. I have a very short window of uniqueness .
It's not suitable as a commercial product, it would cost far too much for a "hobby" market.
And no, it doesn't use an Andrino, Picaxe actually, lots of them .
