Spring Springing
View 52 ~ Week 9 (Weeks 7 & 8 taken but not developed - long story, but I'm catching up as usual :D)
Not sure how this will play in the View 52 group given that it's a time lapse (moving image) but I take comfort from Flickr's justification for including short movies on the basis that they can be viewed as 'long photos'. I quite like that concept, especially here where they are literally the same photo taken many times and then combined to show change. Hey - I like to push the boundaries :P
My first foray into time lapse... lessons learnt, use sturdiest tripod I have (not flimsy travel one), consider a mains adapter to avoid battery swaps and a larger memory card to avoid having to swap those out :D Keep external lights off (red streak on vase is from hall light!), allow enough room for growth of anything that might grow :D Fun experiment nevertheless...
For anyone interested in exif info (missing from videos), the time lapse is composed of:
1 photo every minute x 962 total (~ 30 hours - the maths doesn't add up mainly because of some gaps for emptying memory card, batteries dying etc)
ISO 100, f16 for 6 secs per photo.
Sony alpha 350 with an old film camera 28mm Carl Zeiss f2.8 lens and adapter (cost next to nothing on ebay :D)
Converted to quicktime movie at 30fps using ps.
