i am curious from how many frames (photo) did u do this ? please respond

[takeo17755]

@Mindac Probably 2000-3000 frames, I've done 100,000+ frames of time-lapse photography and broke one shutter. DSLR's typically go 50,000 frames before the shutter dies. I paid the repair cost upfront the first time, but now I have insurance.

niceee!!! how did you keep the camera steady? did you tie the tripod down?

[takeo17755]

@iDmusic1 exactly, used seatbelts tight, I've had a couple of mishaps whilst driving, just need to find somewhere safe to pull over and fix it.

@takeo17755 thanks for the reply, any chance of telling me the settings you used - shutter speed, iso and F stop? Thanks

[takeo17755]

@iDmusic1 Every situation will need different settings, that level of motion blur is about 1/25s shutter, the Sigma 10-20mm lens I'm using is quite dark, only f4.5, and I'm using ISO 100. Just think about how much motion blur you want, if you want similar to this video then set shutter to about 1/25s, and use your Fstop and ISO to set the exposure.

I always use Manual setting, it gives consistent exposure throughout, if you use shutter or aperture priority you can get flickering.

I'm so glad I don't have a car and don't have to drive the bloody thing anywhere. I love my bicycle.

Does the 450D have a built-in time lapse feature, or how did you get it to keep shooting photos at regular intervals?

@takeo17755 Can I please use this as a music video? I will credit you in the video and description, of course.

Seems like you was using manual focus.? am I correct. cause i want to do my own car timelapse and dont know which to use. Guess i gotta use manual focus...

[Tritonmac251]

@ashomsky No, there isn`t such a feature but you can use laptop and software that comes with camera (EOS utility) there`s remote shooting function, but that`s not the best option since (in longer journeys) you have to power your laptop somehow. OR you can use intervalometer(hope i wrote it correct) ;) Good luck shootin` !

@leifharmsen I love my car, and I drive it as much as I can. It's a great experience to drive cars.
