The Video “SFO at Night” is a time-lapse video I released in November 2013 of San Francisco International Airport. I can offer the basic info (20+ hours of photography, 150+ […]
The video above shows my first experiment with macro time-lapse. I’ve used affiliate links where practical because they allow me to fully share my techniques for free. The $42 Solution […]
I began taking these photos a couple of weeks before Christmas but just finished the video this weekend. The workload finally became too much for my laptop so I had […]
I shot this video from San Francisco on Saturday morning. This is the last total lunar eclipse until 2014. The moon started going dark around 4:30am and stayed in the […]
http://youtu.be/lei6UNVpq1Y?hd=1 I compiled this video from publicly available NASA photos. This is similar to the webcam time-lapses I’ve made before, except much easier. I tried to pump up the excitement […]
I posted a video by Luke Shepard a few months ago featuring Paris at night. I’ve finally gotten around to posting a response to that video. This video was made […]
On January 18, I mentioned in a post that the technology site Gizmodo was hosting their first ever video contest until Feb. 9 and the theme was time-lapse. I decided […]
I mentioned a couple of months ago that I’d started playing around with tilt-shift videos. Here’s a collection of some of those videos. It was shot over the course of […]
I’ve wanted to record planes landing at a major airport for a while and finally took the opportunity after renting a camera from BorrowLenses.com. I headed to San Francisco International […]
My plan was to rent a camera and a tracking telescope to record tonight’s lunar eclipse. Three days ago, the weather report showed nothing but clouds for all of California […]
I was inspired by Sam O’Hare’s videos to try my hand at tilt-shift. I made a few attempts and am surprisingly happy with this result. I couldn’t get my camera […]
I shot this video between rainstorms while visiting a friend in Cleveland. I used my maximum f-8 aperture but still shot at 1/80 sec., even with a polarizing filter. I don’t particularly […]
Click here for my new video tutorial that updates this action with some tips and tricks. I show you how to adjust the length of the trails and go step-by-step […]
It’s been a while since I posted an original video, so here’s one I made in late January from the window of an Airbus A319. I started recording as soon […]
I recently found some videos on YouTube that featured time lapse stars that left trails as they moved across the sky. This is my first attempt at mimicking that technique. […]
I made this short video to show some of the differences between HDR time lapse and normal time lapse. I’ll finish this tutorial with my next post about using a […]
I’ve been working on night videos for a few months now and this is my most successful so far. I disabled my camera’s dark frame subtraction in order to make […]
I took the photos for this video back in September but had a little difficulty creating a time lapse because I was using the new Windows Live Movie Maker. Eventually, […]
I haven’t posted to the blog for a while, so here’s a short video to break the streak. I made this at my work to show the kids how I […]
I made this video on a visit to Ohio back in the spring. It was a very rainy week, so the few shots I was able to take were seperated […]
The sky was really pretty just before sunrise this morning, so I set up my tripod in the driveway. As a photograph, the orientation was a no brainer–a narrow, vertical […]
Here’s another video I made on my day trip to Tahoe. I used HDR in order to capture the highlights and shadows, but forgot the first rule of HDR–have plenty […]
This is the final product from my Windows Movie Maker tutorial from the other day. I took my car up into the mountains and went hiking near Lake Tahoe. It […]
Chalk up a new way to ruin a time lapse–goats. That’s right, I’ve dealt with rain, wind, and dogs without too much trouble, but a goat ruined one of the […]
This is my favorite time lapse video so far. I feel the different elements came together nicely. The final scene is from the Feb. 27, 2009 confluence of the moon […]
This is the first video I made using CHDK. The camera was set on Program with a one second exposure. The shots were taken six seconds apart. In retrospect, I […]
This was my first sunset video. I took it south of town next to a levee that extended for miles through fields. It really shows the importance of composition in […]
This was the third video I took but the only one, so far, with panning. I still like the final result but it took too much effort to create. In […]
This was the second video I made. I was still using my camera’s built-in intervalometer so it took over three hours to capture the 183 photos used in this video. […]
This was my first successful time lapse video. I made it with my camera’s built-in intervalometer which has a minimum interval of 60 seconds. By comparison, I usually use three […]
