Time Lapse – Starry Sky
I shot this time lapse on a recent trip to my parents’ place in Central Pennsylvania. Living in Philadelphia, I never see this kind of sky. We have so much light pollution that it would be impossible to get this kind of shot.
This was shot over a 5-hour period with the Canon 7D using an intervelometer set for repeated 30 second exposures. I just let the thing run overnight and by 6am the battery was dead. Huge bummer because it was just starting to get light outside. I’ll have to try it again sometime now that I have a better grasp of what I’m doing.
Nice!
Question: How did you manage to zoom out during the timelapse? Did you do that in post or did you have a motorized glidtrack-like piece of gear?
I shot the time lapse using the medium jpeg size on the 7D. Since the images are much larger than an HD frame, you have the ability to zoom and pan in post. I did it in Final Cut.
