Time lapse experiment results I



I've been wanting to do time lapse photography for a long time. After watching the sun rise and light up Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods many, many times. I thought that it would be the perfect location.

This is my first attempt. I did this to test out equipment, software, and techniques. I've got lots to learn.

I took 60 photos at 1 min intervals. I had to throw out the first 16 because they were basically black. One of the things I need to learn is how to handle this transition between night and day.

The video was created to display the photos at a rate of 1 per sec.

That looks very cool! I may have to give this a try.
