Quantums of Time
Timelapse of a Phalaenopsis (Moth) Orchid.
One frame at 25fps is equivalent to One shot a minute for just under 24 hours.
(i.e. one second = 25 minutes).
One battery of the 40D was able to last just over 12 hours on a full charge, which was quite good! Mounting the camera backwards on my tripod allowed me to (very carefully) change the battery during the timelapse period. All images were shot as large JPEG, rather than RAW, to ensure I could get them (1435 images) on a single 8Gb card. Using a desk lamp I was able to continue shoot throughout the night for the whole period.
In the same time the Earth rotated once, travelling 1,608,000 miles through the solar system. 357,055 people were born. The Athabasca glacier in Canada moved about 2-3cm. A humming bird beat its wings about 2,160,000 times and there were 50 Million Tweets on Twitter. The Universe barely even registered a change.
The music was created using 'Pulsate' by Andre Michelle, which is an mathematical, abstract, visual music creation tool - highly recommended for a play...!!
