10 Hour Time-lapse - Deep Sky Camp - 21st January 2012

[Mike]

This is the time-lapse video I did at DSC this weekend. Comprised of nearly 2000 individual stills and edited into a time-lapse movie. Make sure you change the settings to 1080p HD (if you're gfx card can cope) and also watch it in full screen so you can see it at its best. Hope you like it.

Fantastic Mike!

That has come out really well.  The fish-eye gives an excellent field of view.
Was it all done on the camera's internal battery?

Mark

[Mike]

Yeah I had a battery grip attached too so it was running off two batteries. There was about 15% battery life left by the time i'd finished.

[Rocket Pooch]

Thats cool! what did you use to put it together....

[JohnP]

That is *king brill - really like it - Its great the way you start to see stars peaking through the clouds etc. How were you doing the exposures...?

John

[Mike]

Chris - Premiere Pro to render each time-lapse sequence separately and then final editing in Final Cut Pro X.

John - The Nikon has a timelapse feature built in so I just set it to do 15 second exposures every 20 seconds. I moved it around the field a few times quickly in-between exposures to get different views.

Nice record Mike, especially like the polar rotation sequence.

[Mike]

...especially like the polar rotation sequence.

Yeah that is my favourite part. Next time I think I will leave it pointing at Polaris but with all the scopes in the foreground.

[RobertM]

That's really come out well Mike, you must be well chuffed with that.  Like Duncan my favourite is the polar sequence but the rest is great too.

I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Very good Mike.  Have just watched it for the second time in full screen with music as I was in work the first time.

Brilliant, Mike, very well done. That new camera of yours is something else, I can`t do anything like that with my SonyA380.... it ain`t got no video thingy on it.  Never mind; I will leave it to the professionals.

Great stuff.

Doug.
