I visited Shaw Island WA north of Seattle recently while in production on my DSLR Digital Photography Course. I was armed with my trusty Canon 5D (original), Canon 60D, a bunch of lenses, Tripod and timer remote. I thought I would share a couple of nice Time Lapse sequences I took. I have a video dedicated to Time lase photography in my upcoming DSLR course where you can ‘look over my shoulder’ while I set up 3 time lapse sequences.
If you want to see the video in it’s 720P HD glory – move your mouse over and set size to 720P instead of 360P in the bottom right.
Still loving my Canon 60D – the video quality is impressive.
I did some HD video test shots with 720P@60fps on a custom slider.
Adding smooth movement definitely adds a professional look to your DSLR video.
You can pay upwards of $1000 for good camera sliders but you can get fairly good movement with cheaper and DIY versions.
I created my custom slider using rails from a storage rack and some rollerblade bearings but after wards found some better options on amazon.com.
