Stornoway harbour time lapse

As viewed from Gallows Hill.

My first 720HD time lapse with the Ricoh GX100 camera - a shot every 5 seconds, infinity focus mode, aperture priority, daylight white balance. The built-in intervalometer was the main reason I bought this camera.

Total shooting time: 1h 24m

I'm really happy with the consistent exposures the Ricoh produces which lead to minimal flickering. My Canon Pro1's exposure system is far less stable over hundreds of shots meaning the sequences have to be deflickered.

Mini highlights: the CalMac ferry arriving on the right, a very speedy fishing boat (which had loads of seagulls trailing it) and lastly a little yacht coming into port.

Music: The Haggis by Capercaillie from their Crosswinds album.

Nice video. I was in Stornoway last weekend whencloud base was at ground level, so not many views to see. Also that large blue Calmac cargo ferry (centre right) was still at the same berth. Do you think it ever leaves?

Sorry to hear the weather wasn't good for your visit. It's very sunny, if a little windy, as I type now.

The rusty cargo ferry carries most of the haulage lorries supplying the islands with all sorts of goods. It travels at night.

Thanks for the info. It's beautiful here on Skye today as well.

Nevermind, I should read descriptions more!

No thank you. I'm originally from Point. I like seeing the ferry come in and the little cars drive off. It's like the world keeps moving leaving Lewis to do it's own thing. How long did you film?

Many thanks. :)
