Flower time-lapse movie

Friday, November 25, 2011

Still images (Logitech C270 webcam, modified for macro by placing a f=+150mm singlet lens in front of it) collected with 1 minute intervals for about a week. The flower grows too slowly to be interesting... JPEGs assembled into a movie with mencoder -mf type=jpeg:fps=100 mf://frames/*.jpeg -nosound -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell:autoaspect:vqscale=3 -vf scale=1280:720 -o time-lapse.avi

Another milky way time-lapse

Thursday, September 29, 2011

Before shooting auroras, I captured 60s exposures for this milky way time-lapse: The bright star that starts out about mid-height to the left of the middle is Deneb, the brightest star in the constellation Cygnus. As it swings down and to the right the Andromeda galaxy becomes visible in the top left corner towards the [...]

Aurora Borealis

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Some nice northern lights (aurora borealis) appeared just as I was going to pack away by tripod and camera after shooting another fixed-tripod milky-way time-lapse. So no packing away and instead Aurora Borealis shooting for another three hours. These are 20s exposures through a 17mm/F4 lens on a Canon 500D at iso3200. Fixed tripod. The [...]

Fixed-tripod astro time-lapse

Monday, September 26, 2011

Up north away from the civilisation light pollution, it's easy to see the milky way with the naked eye. Here's a short time-lapse of 60s exposures with the camera on a fixed tripod (I didn't drag my tracking-mount with me this time). Without a dew-heater it didn't take long for the lens to fog up [...]

Lunar time-lapse

Thursday, July 16, 2009

117 frames taken 1 minute apart with 1/20s exposure through a 40mm F/5.6 lens, iso100. Shot between ca 1am and 3am early morning on Thursday 16 July 2009. I've also combined all the images into one, using either all (1 minute interval) or some (2 and 3 minutes) of the frames: This is clearly worth [...]

Time-lapse video of clouds and sky

Saturday, June 20, 2009

About 9 hours compressed into 38 seconds. 566 frames shot at 1 minute intervals from around 10:00 in the morning to 19:36 in the evening. Played back at 15 frames per second, which makes for a ~900x speedup. I first re-sized the jpegs to 1024 pixels wide and then used this matlab script to assemble [...]
