2x Timelapses (San Francisco & Yosemite)
Discussion
I uploaded a couple of timelapses taken on Wednesday (from the Marin Headlands - Golden Gate Bridge overlook) and Thursday (Glacier Point overlook in Yosemite) if you're into that sort of thing...

Love them, with the Fog one, do you have to move the camera with each shot?
I love the way the trees flick in and out of the sun on the Yosemite vid!
No, I've what is essentially an egg timer which rotates round with the camera mounted on top I love the way the trees flick in and out of the sun on the Yosemite vid!
In process of sorting out over 2 hours worth of shots from this evening overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, which was actually partially on show today too!

Some nice vids Baz but in my opinion the glacier point one needs speeding up a bit.
One of the rules for timelapses seems to be that each individual sequence should be around 8-10 seconds or it gets a bit mudane.
Also, rather than using flickr, Vimeo is much better for uploading and watching videos. FlickR seems to do some odd compression and any of my vids never look as good on it as on Vimeo.
Would love to go to Yellow Stone
. Was planning a trip last year but everything went pear shaped!

That's spooky we had the same idea - and glad to see it works - I had ordered a flat egg timer a few weeks back so I could sucker mount the video to it and let it rotate round. I had planned to play about with it when I get home in a week or so.
My thinking was - if I want to go clockwise, mount it on the top - if I want to go anti-clockwise mount it on the bottom.
I had previously hacked up an egg timer to make my own, but discovered there's a company that has produced a ready made version, and at $24.95 it's not that expensive and saves you having to do all the DIY hackeroo stuff...

The other thing to remember is that shooting such a vid/sequence of pics is that due to the nature of the rotation mechanism there is a little wobble possible, so wind will affect it a little...

The clouds were so slow moving in real life around lunchtime, I still have another one from a different location around 2 hours later in which the movement is much faster (in real life), cheers for the input though baz7175 said:

What's this DIY hackeroo stuff you talk about http://camarush.com/camalapse-time-lapse-panning

I'm going to suckermount my little Contour onto it and see how it goes on my nine pound egg timer goes and if it doesn't work I'll use it for eggs. crmcatee said:

Easier than my original attempt, which involved pulling an eggtimer apart and adding threads to the top and bottom of it to mount the tripod/camera... I'm going to suckermount my little Contour onto it and see how it goes on my nine pound egg timer goes and if it doesn't work I'll use it for eggs. 
2x more vids just added:-

Liking the second one Baz. Good movement of the clouds in that one.
Do you have After Effects/Premier Pro by any chance. Two invaluable bits of software for timelapse stuff in my opinion although quite a lot of people use Sony software as well (can't remember the name).
If you are getting more in to timelapse stuff http://forum.timescapes.org/phpBB3/index.php is an invaluable source of information and knowledge.
