So… It was beginning to storm and I thought it would be another ideal time to attempt a time lapse session – well instead of sequencing the photos into a video I pulled a couple of them together into one shot.  I have also uploaded the images that I started with – Enjoy!!

Big Thanks to Chloe Gibbs – She did a great job with this script.  It was tough because we had to capture the full thing in one pass.  I don’t want to have any cuts in the final version. After about 20 takes we called it a night.  Thanks to Troy as well, he coached Chloe on the piece, and he wrote it.  I think it will be a awesome way to start off our easter service. 

I drove by the park on Friday, and I didn’t have my camera.  I decided I had to go back the next day to get these pictures.  So of them I really liked others I thought I needed a polarizing filter to help be get bluer skys.  Maybe next year.

 

One of the reasons I’ve wanted a digital SLR for so long was I wanted to do real timelapse photography – here is the latest result of my efforts to learn how to get a good timelapse.

So…. It stormed last night, I set my camera looking out from our sliding glass door that goes out to our balcony, set it to a 30 second exposure left my remote control to take shots through the night, and I got one shot I thought I would share.  I learned tonight what todo next time it storms.

We are remodeling the tech system in the youth center to better serve our church.  The idea is to use it as a fully functioning overfull space.

March 27th, 2011 the snow began to fall in the afternoon.  It was a freak storm that came after with had been in the mid 70s for a week.  It didn't stick around for very long, but I was able to snap a couple shots. (today I was reminded how difficult it can be to take a good shot of snowy trees)  These were my best attempt… I hope you like them!
