Richmond Timelapse

A short sequence of time lapse scenes I shot in Richmond, VA over the course of 3 weeks.

Enjoy

0:00 Pony Pasture looking at the Carillon Tower
0:06 James River looking at Rocketts Landing
0:13 Bandy Field Nature Park
0:21 Lee Monument
0:31 James River / Downtown / I-95
0:39 Monument Ave
0:49 Main St / Uptown
0:59 Boulevard Bridge Toll Booth
1:06 Main Street Station / I-95
1:21 Downtown


On a technical note:
These were shot on a Canon 60D with EF-S 10-22mm lens. I used the small RAW setting which has a resolution of 2592 x 1728. In all, I took 3,198 images. I used a remote timer and for most scenes I set the interval for 1 second. Some of the daylight scenes looked a little flat so I brought them into Photomatix and applied some HDR magic to give them some visual interest.

Some scenes had some camera shake so I brought them into Adobe After Effects and used the Stabilize Motion effect to smooth it out. The final cut is played back at 24 fps.

This is a great way to explore the city you live in and I would encourage anyone to try it. All you need is a camera, or smartphone for that matter, that is capable of taking pictures on an interval, and a little bit of patience.

@honitsten Do it! It's tons of fun... just a bit of time editing and color grading. Worth the effort.

That was cool. I'm thinking of trying it with my t2i. I think I have everything I need to do it too.
