This is my first attempt at a time lapse. I used my Canon 40D with the Canon TC-80N3 Timer Remote Control (Intervalometer). The Canon 40D had a Canon EF-S 17-55 zoom lens mounted on it, set to 17mm. The time lapse was comprised of 600 images in all. I set the timer to take 1 still every 10 seconds, which works out to 1 hour of time lapsed that resulted in 20 seconds of video at 30 fps. I imported all images into After Effects as footage and rendered the resulting footage as uncompressed .avi to get a very large (dimensions wise as well as file size) video that was imported into Adobe PPro CS3. The extra large dimensions of the video gave me the ability to pan the time lapse in post. I used the Canon 5D Mark II to take the other shots you see in this video, while the 40D was busy with the time lapse. The 5D for the most part had the 70-300 f/4-5.6 zoom lens mounted on it expect for the opening shot, for which I used the EF 28mm f/1.8. The 5D footage was uncompressed using PPro CS3 and the uncompressed footage was imported into the time line. You can see a blog post on how to do that here http://exposureroom.com/members/skumar.aspx/blogs/post/575/ The moon happened to be up too so I shot it while the 40D was busy capturing the ssetting sun. The music is by Trio Los Paraguayos and is called Malagueña. As a kid my dad would listen to this music so it holds some sentimental value.
