My First Time-Lapse Experiment:
Time Lapse Video made using over 1900 still shots, condensing over 4 hours of driving our Jeep Wrangler from Salt Lake City to Arches National Park, Utah.
The video ends with some of my favorite shots clicked while in the Arches area.
Music: Star Guitar (Chemical Brothers)
Camera: Canon PowerShot A610
This being my first experiment with time-lapse, its far from being perfect but I hope to shoot some more in the coming months.
Making of this Video: The Chewing Gum Act
I had been thinking about doing this for quite some time, but finally got a chance on this trip to Utah, when for once I was not going to be in the driver's seat. It didn't take me long to realize that I did not have the stuff to ensure steady camera position to shoot this, nor did I have any fancy remote shutter release. My simple Point-and-Shoot Canon Powershot A610 on a shaky Wrangler dashboard was all I had. Unexpectedly, there was too little legroom to actually place my tripod, which I had originally planned to use.
No scotch tapes in our Jeep either, so I looked for other ways to mark a border the base of my camera placed on the dash and hold it within the frame all the while- but no pen-ink showed against the black dash either. So all my plans for my first time-lapse came crashing down.
but then... out of a fit of epiphany ...out came my chewing gum which I stuck to the diagonal edges of the base of my camera. As disgusting as it sounds, it worked like a charm and gave me an idea of where to keep the camera on the dash to not have too-shaky a foreground going from one image to the next.
The rest, as I like to remember.....is all Utah geography .




Enjoy,

Man, what a great job! I drove this trip february 10th 2002, I got there in time for sunrise at the Organ, and watched the sunset at Delicate Arch, then drove back to Salt Lake and my work at the Olympics. This was one of my 2 days off during that month, so I had to drive when dark. Nice to actually see the landscape along the way, so thanks! (I came back to Utah and Arches in 2008, but then driving from Arizona, and only on vacation. Amazing place.)
