    Using far away boats in timelapses

    Thought it would be interesting to use boats in timelapses from a distance. Thoughts?

    Requested an airport view at my hotel near DFW. I feel like I could have left the shutter open a little longer and upped the iso for the night shots.

    Overall the dusk shot was my favorite in terms of framing and color, but the arrivals and departures were too cool not to capture.

    Moon Experiment with TimeLapsed App on iPhone (no edit)

    In this Timelapse of the moon, I was using Siri to voice control the ISO and white balance while TimeLapsed App blended the frames together.

    I started off with ISO 400 and White Balance at 3200 and then dropped it to ISO 30 and every 10-15 minutes increased it by 200 up to ISO 2500 at the end.

    I didn’t have to touch my phone, I just walked up and said: “Siri, set ISO in TimeLapsed App to 800” and same with White Balance up to 9,000 for the fire looking orange.

    The app took care of blending the frames and creating the Timelapse video in real time. This is unedited.

    iPhone Timelapse of Lightning using Light Painting mode in TimeLapsed App

    Using my iPhone on a tripod and TimeLapsed app in light painting mode I captured about an hour of lightning hitting the lake. The app blends the frames together while it’s time lapsing to give a progressive view of the storm.

    Intervalometers - hardware or software?

    I have a digital camera but I use it often, so I'm thinking of getting myself another digital camera specifically to get into timelapse photography...

    My question, while I'm looking at the range of available models, is what are the relative advantages of hardware vs software intervalometers? Is the cost of the extra hardware offset by its benefits?

    Timelapse - Making the stars fall out of the sky. iPhone

    I used TimeLapsed App on iPhone with the Stars Zoom 3x profile and did a 20 minute Timelapse.

    At 10 minutes in, I enabled Star trails (max) while it was still Zooming and it made the stars fall out of the sky. I then Sped up video and added audio in TimeLapsed with the editor.

    Disclosure: I’m the developer of this app and version 1.11.1 launched tonight so I’m up testing App Store release. I built this app for people who are passionate about timelapsing and want mind blowing control over their camera on iPhone.
