Slow day at work, so I thought I'd play with the Interval timer (intervalometer) built into my Nikon D200.

Two hours compressed into 9 seconds

I love that stuff. I've done a few too. I'll post some links later.

That is cool. What was your setup?
03/13/2007 04:56:21 PM · #4
Kinda looks like what the snowbanks around here are doing. Last week it looked like the arctic, 3-foot drifts everywhere. Today it's pushing 70 degrees and there's very little snow left except the big piles.

Very Cool! (hehe I made a punny!)

How many frames per second in the completed animations?

I tried it @ 15fps, but it was a bit long. 24fps was what I ended up with.

I just set the camera to jpgs so I wouldn't have to process raw files, set the exposure on manual (1 sec @ f8, 50mm manual focus lens), and then set the camera to take an image every thirty seconds for two hours (240 total).

Lighting was just your typical office lighting, overhead fluorescents. I recorded an action editing (minimal) on the first image and then applied it to the next 239.

A slightly too humid 75 degrees here, but it was 86 :-( in my office, which inspired the project.

Please do. I want to see more. I've noticed that most everything on the web is either super polished professional presentations or looks like it was taken by a cell phone.

Here are a few of my few of my astronomy time lapse photos. Warning, the second one is huge. Don't click unless you have broad-band. All are animated GIFs.

That's a pretty cool animation! It might be fun to reverse the whole thing, too, showing ice growing from water.

Grr, that's the kind of thing I want to do with cities, but the 350D has to be connected to a laptop or a special remote. So do all Canons, I think?

Yup, 1 - 0 to the Nikon in that department..

Huh? Where's it talk about that in the manual???
03/13/2007 06:29:50 PM · #13
Never mind, I found it. How had I missed this1? :-D

I love time-lapse photography!
did anyone notice that the water line is actually RISING as the ice cubes melt? that makes no sense! that's not supposed to happen! anyone have an explanation for this? I'm mystified.
03/13/2007 06:56:47 PM · #15
i would say its because the ice was not submerged in the water as their wat too much of it?

Check out this page:
599 Productions
Click on one of the Timelapse Reel links on the left side for some of the most gorgeous time lapse videos ever. They were made with a Canon 20D. Try the 'HD 480p' or 'HD 720p' links for some truly fantastic quality. It's really soothing any beautiful. I love the elevators that zip up and down a minute or so into the movie.
03/13/2007 07:29:05 PM · #17
Wow, that 599 one is amazing.
Anyone know the music used in that?
03/13/2007 07:36:09 PM · #18
Music by Michael Nyman from the movie Gattaca

Doesn't matter if the ice was submerged in the water. The fact that it was "in" the water is all that mattered.

As far as the level changing as the ice melted....it did not change. The way the ice was positioned and moving did not allow you to accuratly see the level at all times.

If you put ice in a cup of water and the ice melts, the level of the water does not change...PERIOD.

BTW....good timelapse job !

That was so amazing! I love the part with the airplanes! Seeing so many flying in and going out. So cool!

Surely if the ice is not 100% submerged then the displacement of water caused by the ice cubes is less than the actual water content of the ice cubes in their frozen state. thus one would expect a teensy weensy rise in the level of the water as the ice melts.

unless I bunked off physics lessons the day they did the `ice cube melting` topic..

I guess I could be wrong but lets make it simpe:

10 ml of water and one ice cube floating in it
Half the cube is floating above the water
Ice melts
Water level rises

You are saying that because some of the ice was above the water line before the melt, the water level will now be higher than it was when the ice was solid?

You're going to have to point me to some proof of that one! :-)

Because some water is floating above the water surface in a solid state. Once it melts where else would you like it to go?
03/13/2007 09:23:32 PM · #24
It doesn't matter if it is a solid state. If the ice is floating in the water, the the ice's volume is already accounted for in the level of the water. When the ice changes from solid to liquid it does not change the level of the water.

Yes but what about the top half of the ice that is floating above the surface of the water? Where does it go when it melts?
