New Inspiration



Well I was introduced to the wonderful time lapse video's by Alex Cherney just 2 days ago.
I was hooked straight away.

It was only 1 day before I was heading out with a friend to have a go at a star time lapse.

I can see it is going to take some time to build up some trial and error experience but my very first attempt has left me wanting much more.


There are 2 different clips here repeated at different frame rates, the music is "Ambient Symphony" by Zero project

Using a Pentax K7, and a Sigma 10-20, my settings for the first clip were approx ISO 3200 and f11, the second clip I dropped the ISO to 1600 and opened the aperture to 5.6.

I think a wider aperture is required and as low an ISO as possible.
The K7 is probably not the High ISO - Low noise camera around atm, but thats my kit :)

Planning next outing for the Comet that is passing close to Earth on Feb 15th 2013.

Cheers
