Want an idea for something different to try with your DSLR, Check out this crazy cool time lapse photography video.

From what I read on Ken Rockwell's site, this was all done using a DSLR taking a photo every 4 seconds then pulling the images onto a video editting program.

This is the reason we need bigger memory cards!

beautiful work and remarkable that it was done through a string of stills. I can't imagine what it took to finalize it. Wow!

That's very cool.

My brain hurts, trying to think how he did the clock. Very painstaking.

Some of this could be done with a movie camera, and dropping frames. But there's no other way to duplicate the traffic trails, for example, that I can think of.

The Nikon D200 has a time lapse feature built into it.

That's cool.

But look at the clock: the second hand and minute hand are perfectly syncronized, but in reverse. Which means a different timing for every shot. Yikes!

Hey waxy, he spent some time at a place you did some of your first night
shots at.

Thanks for the pointer, this was a very cool thing to see and I agree about
the clock being a cool shot.

Very cool!
The guy has put some serious time into that...
That Monument Valley rainbow.. mmmh

Sid, that clock shot, while looking totally cool, is, in fact, a very easy thing to achieve. You just need to make sure your time interval is whatever X number of minutes plus, say 45..55 seconds. In this case it would seem that the third hand would go backwards by 15..5 seconds with each new frame... Nothing to it but to do it ;-)

See, I knew someone with math skills would set me straight.
