Playing with timelapse
Yesterday, at the Syzygryd work day, I played around with taking a timelapse of our day. Using a Canon 5d mk II with a sigma 12-24mm lens (at 12mm) rented from Lens Rentals I took one frame every 5-10 seconds over the course of a 10 hour work day. Here’s what we got:
It was good to play around with the time lapse generation. I was just using canon’s own EOS Utility to drive the camera, and I have an AC power kit for the camera itself so I don’t have to worry about batteries. My one frustration with the day is it seemed like EOS Utility could take about 700-800 photos before it crashed out, requiring me to restart the process. Hopefully it will be better behaved today. In the future, I want to get one of those slow moving setups so that the position/angle of the camera changes very slowly over the course of the time lapse.
We’re going back in today to place the giant arms on this structure and finalize orientation and such. I’m planning on setting up to take a time lapse again today. This one should be good!
Also, since I seem to be remiss in posting photos from this project here, have a photo of our welder doing his work:
