First Attempt At Time Lapse Video

Tweet

I attempted my first time lapse video on Christmas day.  My D300s was attached to a tabletop tripod and placed on top of the fridge.  About thirty minutes after the camera stopped taking pictures, the door was opened on the refrigerator and the camera fell to the floor.  Luckily, my Cybersync trigger was in the hot shoe and it took the majority of the force.  The CST spit in half, and the "feet" were sheared off.  I snapped it back together and it still worked.  Unfortunately, the CST won't work when in the hot shoe.  Bummer...

A Christmas Timelapse 2011 from Henderson Images

The video is composed of 360 shots made 5 seconds apart for 30 minutes. The exposure was 1/15th sec. @ f3.5, ISO 1600. The pictures were then imported into Lightroom where I corrected the white balance. The images were resized to 1200 pixels across. Next, I used JPGVideo to convert the stills to video (24 FPS). Finally, I used Windows Movie Maker to add text and audio.
