Timelapse: Videos Clouds and Moonrise.

Above is a timelapse I made of the sky with my Cannon 400DSLR.

Using the sky as your first timelapse is great. I took each photo 15 seconds apart for 20 minutes.I just placed my camera skywards, attached the camera to the computer via a mini USB and used Cannons remote picture taking software to programme the picture taking speed and quality. Timelapse is great fun, you've just got be on constantly viligant if you have pets or members of the family who inadvertently move your camera when the timelapse is in progress.

Above is a Moon Timelapse, this is more tricky than the first. It was a good clear night, only trouble was I don't think the neigbours appreciated the flash from the camera going of several hundred times, the moths liked it though(Ah Ah). The moon came out surprisingly bright in the video, I probably had the camera set up a little wrong. Anyway it was the Cannon 400DSLR that I used. The clouds that pasted by the moons brightness worked well. I put the camera on night setting and took a picture once every minute for several hours.
