Sorry about the ad, but it is worth waiting to see the amazing job these guys did using DSLR’s to capture the Space Shuttle preparation and launch. Stunning.

Imagine trying to do a time lapse shoot that will give you about 60 seconds of footage, but takes two years to complete. Well that’s exactly what BBC Natural History did.

Thanks to Syn at OCAU for the link.

If you have ever wondered how the clever people make time lapse videos out of their photos, wonder no more. Mark Evans has written a guide to time lapse photography over at smashandpeas.com. If you want to have a go at it yourself, and it really isn’t very hard at all, have a read of his terrific guide.

Here is one I prepared earlier.

For the Gen Y people who have never seen a Polaroid develop. Sort of like chimping in slo-mo.

This was shot with a 5D and 24-70f/2.8L lens on a tripod. I tried to line it up with where I took the shot with the Polaroid.

Time lapse, when done well is great fun to watch. SmashandPeas have a great guide on how to put your own time lapse videos together.

Some amazing videos made with the new Canon EOS 5D MkII. I know when it first came out, it divided people. Some people loved the fact you could use video, others hated it. Really, who cares, it you don’t like it, don’t use it. But when you see the end results of some of the videos below, I for one am glad Canon added it.

The video below mixes time lapse with video, and is stunning.

Now that Flickr accepts video, (causing alot of people plenty of angst apparently) I thought I would try one myself.

It was cut short due to some rain, but I intend to do some more in the not to distant future.

A few people have asked how I did it. Well, it wasn’t exactly high tech. I just sat beside the camera, mounted on the tripod, attached the remote shutter release and clicked it every 10 seconds or so. Apparently you can tether the camera to a laptop and have the computer control it, but where is the fun in that?
