Raleigh Time Lapse

I recently got the bug to try and do some time lapse photography when I saw this post over at Digital Photography School.  It’s a good intro to what you are getting into and links to various attempts around the web.  I had considered doing this previously but never really got around to it.  This work by Ross Ching is pretty much the ULTIMATE time lapse I have seen out there.  It’s combining the use of tilt shift lenses and telescoping mounts along with crop panning to create an even more unique and dynamic experience.  Amazing.

I don’t own a dedicate intervalometer at the moment.  I will soon.  Using my laptop with the Canon EOS software hooked up to my Canon XSi allowed me to employ the basic concept of doing time lapse.  The result is interesting, it does not really meet my artistic vision though.  The biggest issues was that the fastest interval I could accomplish was a shot every 5 seconds.  This combined with a 1-1.3 second exposure time just didn’t give me the shutter drag I really wanted.

So there will definitely be more to come on this topic.  I have a big plan in my head of exactly where I would like to go with the concept.  I’m looking forward to implementing it and sharing it with everyone.
