Short clip on Sycamore Grove, a popular park near where I live.

Shot with a Canon 7d with a GlideTrack SD on some of the scenes.

Nice shots! I love the timelapse @ the end. Great work!

Nicely done.

What picture profile did you use? The colors appeared a bit flat, but very realistic. I liked that. Most people way over saturate with very vivid colors. But this looked soft and natural.

Did you color correct?

Also, just out of curiosity, what were the settings for your timelapse and did you do it with the 7d?

Thanks for the kind comments.

My picture style was with sharpness and contrast turned all the way down. Saturation was down 2 notches and color tone left in default.

Yes, I did some subtle color correction in Final Cut Pro.

The timelapse was done on my 5D Mark II so that I could continue shooting video with the 7D. Used a Canon 16-35mm lens, ISO 100 and a shutter of 1/80 @f11 on manual exposure mode since the light was somewhat consistent. Shot 1 frame every 2 seconds. Used the same flat picture style that I used on the 7D and ran the images through Lightroom for the color correction.

Check out my Yosemite video that I did a week ago. Same camera and same flat picture profile.
