Aruba Timelapse with T2i! · July 15th, 2010, 03:18 PM

This was my first attempt doing timelapse, even when I'm on vacation I cannot keep my camera in the bag :)

I like it alot. Timelapse story. Maybe try speeding up the footage in post to really get that smooth look though.

Thanks Brandon,

I don't think slowing the footage in post will make it smoother, I think it's a matter of having more pictures taking in between intervals

Michael,
yes, more frames will do! I done some timelaps myself and find that shooting 1 fps is best to get best motion of people etc. For clouds, sunrise/set, moon 2-5 fps.

Also keep the horizon in level! Some of your shoots was not!

Hopefully the constant *clack* .................... *clack* ........................... *clack* of your shutter didn't annoy the other passengers on the plane. :-)

Most of these shots were taken without a tripod, I put the camera on Windows, rocks.. wherever I can get a flat surface, I could have done better keeping the camera at level with a tripod.
