Seattle Time Lapse Lake Union

Here's a 2 hour time lapse of Lake Union in Seattle. I captured every 30th frame to create this effect. The view is from the rocky beach at Gas works park.

what kind of camera did you shoot this on?

[benbab]

I used my canon 20d, then combined the images together with video editing software. I took a shot about every 10 to 20 seconds.

[ewalsh23]

you took these manually?

[benbab]

Nope, I used an interval timer. You can use an interval timer to have the camera shutter release at a specified interval. That way you don't need to do anything, just set the camera up on a tripod, set the interval timer, then wait for hours on end as the timer takes the shots. Pretty fun and easy overall. :)

Really cool. Just wish it was higher than 240p! Check out the video I just did at Gas Works. Thanks

Great video! I used to skate down to Gasworks park late at night with friends from the UW and we'd sit and talk and watch the city lights for hours. It was so quiet and beautiful. I miss Seattle!
