Dude, that’s awesome. How far below sea level is this? While you were away, I did this totally cool thing in the office. Oh, wait… no I didn’t.

Assuming that you’ve used both Nodal Ninja 3 and 5, are there any major reasons to upgrade to Nodal Ninja 5? It would seem unnecessary if using a Nikon D300 + Nikon 10.5 fisheye (180-degrees), correct? Whatcha think?

p.s. Graham: Lightroom is the perfect software for editing images before assembling them as a movie because it makes batch operations, such as spot removal or straightening, relatively easy. You just “copy” the relevant settings from one photo to the rest of the batch.

Nice work. Thanks. FYI I found this on a general google search for making timelapse movies.

I had to look up what you meant by shutter drag. If anybody else stumbles upon this tutorial and needs a reminder, from what I gather it involves narrow aperture (ie f22) to get a nice long shutter speed. As shown in the tutorial, that will cause motion blur in the still images, and it will also yield a desirable exposure length relative to interval length.

Did I get that right?

Looks exciting Zach, wish I could make it. Couldn’t afford it this year.

I am in Louisville currently trying to finish this ADP multimedia project by this Wednesday, May 28.

I live in the Highlands and I’ll be here in Louisville all throughout the rest of May if you or anybody else at NPPA would like to connect.

I don’t know if you drink, but most the bars here are open until 4am, seven days a week and there’s a plethora of great restaurants scattered about the Highlands and Crescent Hill.

I’m sure in certain situations you could ‘over drag’ the shutter, depending on what you’re trying to capture and the frame rate you play it back at. For the most part though, I think you want the camera to be exposing as much as possible leaving little time in between frames captured.

Zach - as for shutter speed…do you think you can ‘over’ drag the shutter? What’s your experience been with exposures longer than 2 seconds per frame?

Thanks,
TOR

Zach, do you mind if I ask: what do you use for background music in your productions. If it’s something you create yourself, could you post a tut on it? Thanks!

Thank you for posting this. I know how to shoot a time lapse, but I could never find a good program to compile the video. Thank you very much for making this available.
