Description I haven’t had many new images to upload lately, so I thought I might put up some of the recent time lapse stuff I’ve been doing.

There’s really not too much to explain here. I’ve just been experimenting with time lapse photography. I use a 400D, set it up outside and leave it to capture exposures (anywhere between 15 seconds to 30 seconds) using a remote timer. I used a little application simply called “Startrails” ( [link] ) to blend the sequence of images together.

These images and many more can be seen in a video I uploaded to my YouTube channel: [link] watch?vhzjejsiRLo

(The Deviatnart linking system doesn't seem to be working properly, so you have to add the 'watch?v=...' stuff to the end of the youtube.com/ link)

Enjoy!

I love it
I wonder how did you make the trails long, my brother's camera can only make the shutter speed last for 60 seconds as a max.
Anyways, this is really great!

They're usually about 3 hours worth. However, they're not singular 3 hour exposures, they're a sequence of 15 second exposures all added together. In other words, the camera takes a constant stream of 15 second exposures, then I use a computer program to combine them into one shot.
