David Lindes' Time-Lapse Photography

Just the beginnings of things, for now -- much more to come. After recently purchasing the TC-80N3 timer-remote, I can now take time-lapse pictures with my Canon EOS 10d... so... I'm experimenting with that.

Here are a few early attempts (more to come; the ones here so far are mostly just about testing out the new gear).

The moon, crossing the sky

Some key images, for reference:

The moon movie:

Or download it -- you have three resolutions to chose from: The moon, small (about 700KB), The moon, medium (about 2.5MB), or The moon, big (about 7MB)

Fountain fun:

A longer movie than the moon one, this movie shows people having fun running in and out of the big International Fountain at Seattle Center, from an angle where a rainbow was created every time the water got high enough.

A sample frame:

Or download it -- you have three resolutions to chose from: The fountain, small (about 3.8MB), The fountain, medium (about 9.7MB), or The fountain, big (about 24MB)

Future plans:

I've got plans for a lot more time-lapse work... here are some notes:

Coming soon (for some value of "soon"):

Stuff I have specific plans to make happen, and/or have already done some work on (i.e. pictures have been taken, but some issue or other is keeping them from being available just yet):

A candle -- from pre-lit, down to nothing.

Time-lapse links:

A few random links to other sites of and/or about time-lapse photography:

Wikipedia's Time-lapse article.
A Time-lapse "FAQ" (it's really more of a general informational document than a FAQ, but interesting)

Future plans (some day):

A few of the things I want to capture at some point:

Night sky swirling
Sunrise(s)/Sunset(s)
(more) Moonrise(s)/Moonset(s)
Plants growing
Flowers blooming
Weather (e.g. a storm rolling in, hopefully with lightning, too.)
Food baking (cookies, perhaps.)
Animal activities (birds building a nest, ants burrowing, things like that)
nighttime traffic
a campfire (or fireplace fire, or whatever), including the addition of new logs to the fire
An entire game of pool -- with long exposures for when things are in action.

I'm sure more ideas will strike me, as well. (And if you'd like to commision something, do feel free to contact me. :-)
