Canon T2i - Magic Lantern - Time Lapse

I shot this today in downtown Raleigh, NC below the Boylan Bridge. The weather was just the right mixture of clouds, wind, and sun while I shot these 243 photos.

I shot this with a Canon T2i running Magic Lantern for the time lapse .

I guess you've been watching Breaking Bad :D Good job

[zstamey84]

@Khimil never seen it, what's the correlation?

[GanEdenVideo]

what time settings were used?

[zstamey84]

@GanEdenVideo I honestly don't remember, I'm sorry. It has been a while and it was my first attempt with time lapse on my T2i. I didn't get it exactly right either but it worked out. I've learned that it all depends on what you are trying to capture and that using filters or turning your f-stop to like 20 or something and then dragging your shutter to a slower speed definitely helps. It keeps things from being so rigid and really helps add motion blur that you would see when shooting video.

@GanEdenVideo wish I could be of more help

what does the magic latern even do? im confused on that :/

[zstamey84]

@LongshotGaming Magic Lantern is software that is added to the camera. It has a lot of functions but specifically for this video I used the intervalometer feature to shoot time lapse photos without the need of additional hardware or controls. Then I just dropped all the photos into the timeline in Sony Vegas and rendered it out as video. Hope that helps. Just google Magic Lantern Firmware for more info.

This is so cool man! I've recently bought a 550d and all I keep hearing about is Magic Lantern, I didn't realise it did time lapsing to!

[Khimil]

@zstamey84 The scenery, colouring and even the soundscape reminded me of the time lapses often shown in the series. I thought it might have been an inspiration. I couldn't find any decent example clips.

Nice one anyway!

@zstamey84 why didn't you just shoot a video instead of making pictureS?

[cnhsmcl]

wow that is cool!

I encounter a problem, if I shot many pictures in a time of 4 hours for example would I would last the battery charge? if I change the battery could move the camera ...

[santygugu]

a question, how much did you give him time interval between shots? thanks
