Sunlapse: Panning Time Lapse Sunrise In Levanger Norway CHDK

[coinsmr]

Loved your Levanger Norway time lapse. Can you share with me the kind of panning device you have and where I may buy one. I know nothing of these devices. Thanks and Happy New Year from Seattle, Washington. COINSMR

This is one of the best I've seen..Love the panning..Could you please share more about the timer switch?

I am clueless about it :)

[rostern]

@rizwanmithawala Thanks for stopping by:) I just placed the 24h timer switch in the window sill and started the script.

[ivandjones]

nice! thanks for posting.

[usernamejpt]

Beautiful!!!

[rostern]

@usernamejpt thanks for stopping by

[usernamejpt]

@rostern May I know which script did you use?

[rostern]

@usernamejpt I used a script called unlimited interval shooting. You can find it on the CHDK wikia page under the user-written scripts.

@rostern just Have to ask: 1.does one of the Parameters of the camera [like exposure & such] have to be Steady for time-lapse shots?

2.damn!what battery can survive for so long???

[rostern]

@eladbari 1.The parameters doesn't have to be steady, but it sure is an advantage, and will give the best results overall. For this timelapse i set the camera in aperture mode.

2. I used a Canon power adapter, no batteries.

[eladbari]

@rostern thanx for the kind reply :]

1.i guess as manual as u can get=the better! still, i feel like some parameters need to stay Constant throughout the shot..and some shouldnt. for example, Auto-focus should be off\or set to infinity...but exposure? it should maybe be auto? since u might have a sunrise..so it needs to change..right?

2.btw u used a kitchen cooking timer as the panning mechanism? :]

Det der var utrolig vakkert å se på!

[rostern]

@xXxMaariiaaxXx takk for det

[smashingparadox]

Fantastic! My only complaint is that it's not offered in HD ;_;

[rostern]

@smashingparadox

It is if you read the video description:)

[TheDailyNewsPost]

nice, now where is that setting to do a time lapse...

[hodasdoisa]

which script is that. thank you

[rostern]

@hodasdoisa

I used a script called unlimited interval shooting. You can find it on the CHDK wikia page under the user-written scripts.

[pohgejib]

amazing

[rostern]

@pohgejib

thanks! I appreciate it!

[mrwander]

I absolutely love the panning. It really gave a smooth sense of wide open spaces.

I am impressed because that is what some of my time-lapse videos have lacked. I tried to manually get the pan once or twice, but it turned out too jerky in my effects.

Excellent job!

[Blasterwastelander]

Goood job! Perfect timing for the panoramic.

Can you tell me at how many picture per minute did you setted the camera?

[rostern]

@Blasterwastelander

Thanks! I appreciate it. I set the script to take one picture every 5 or 6 second i think, for a smooth timelapse.That gives you 12 pictures each minute

[shaltzmanmh]

very nice! nice spot too...!

fun to see that i do the same system for the rotation without seeing your work...

[ginbrandy]

very nice indeed!

[rostern]

thanks!

[peppe8219]

wonderful!!!!!!!!

[t3rr1k]

Good job! I'm planing in doing something like this but would try a HDR, i watched some nice videos arroud.

How did you get the "rotating" moving effect? Is that a software edit (cut) on the pictures, or you have some rotating mount for the camera?

[rostern]

thanks! I used a 24h timer switch for the pan and mounted the camera on top of it.

hello eric,

Finally after a very tedious search and trying to install a intervelometer script on my canon powershot, i have miserably failed because i am not able to figure out how to install the intervelomenter script and use it

i use a canon SX1 Is and i have installed CHDK on my camera...

Could u please tell me how to install the intevelometer script ?

thanks for your time..

Sandeep

[rostern]

well I am not familiar with the SX1 but there should be a folder on your SD card named something like CHDK/SCRIPTS/. Try copy and paste the scripts you have to this folder. Also remember that If you are using a multipartition card, you have to make sure the scripts are on the large one, not the small one with the chdk boot files.

[rostern]

To activate a script, you have to open the Script menu (ALT mode + FUNC on my camera), navigate to the scripts folder, and select the script. To execute the script (i.e., to run it), just press the Shutter in ALT mode.

[timidimit]

Watched it second time in HD, perfect work and choice of music!

[rostern]

thanks!

[AnythingWestOLincoln]

i just got a timer from opteka where i can set intervals and such just what i was looking for.. now just need to get more batteries :]

[AnythingWestOLincoln]

ok so did you have to push the shutter every picture or what i dont understand!! haha I have an xti

[rostern]

no, i just ran the unlimited interval script using CHDK, and the camera took the pictures by itself

[AnythingWestOLincoln]

so i cant do it with my xti they dont have the version on their site? unless you know of a different way

[mihaib64]

no you can't. CHDK doesn't work on DSLR and will probably never will...no interest form the coders...get a compact camera that is supported. Check the wiki site

[timidimit]

Great job! Many thanks for this word: CHDK.

I was very close to buy a bracketing enabled camera, but I didn't even think to look for my A630 hack. That should be even better and will save me some money.

Hi

any chance of more info on the pan motor im trying to build one in a hurry as Im climbing in Chamonix in two weeks and would like to put on on a peak for the sunrise, your help would be very appiciated

cheers

[rostern]

sounds cool, but I'm sorry I can't help you much.I used a simple 24h timer switch for the pan,just mounted the camera on top of it and shot away. Nothing fancy, more like a test to see if it would work. The obvious downside is that it's not exactly a portable device as it relies on power. Anyways, Good luck!

[harrismagnum04]

No worries just bought a 240 volt 1 rph motor/gearbox. Im going to try and fit a 12v motor for field use.

Pink Floyd always a good choice :-)

[Joshatdot]

nice! love the music, who is it? how did you do the pan with time lapse?

[rostern]

thanks! Pink Floyd - Shine on you crazy diamond.

I used an ordinary 24h mechanical timer for the pan. It worked quite well.
