First ever time lapse

I know this is a photographic, not a video forum. However, a time lapse is still-image-based. A couple of months ago we visited Port Macquarie, just down the highway from Coffs. I got up early one morning and took a couple of hundred photos, with the Fuji XT-1 built in intervalometer and a tripod, of the sunrise. I know it's fairly amateurish, but hey, I'm a rank amateur in most things.

Here's the resultant (very short) time lapse video:

Interesting. I wonder if somehow you could slow the action a bit. There is a ghostly figure coming towards the camera that could add to the effect.

Not bad for the first time you've ever lapsed. Apart from slowing it down, the idea I got was for someone to appear from the water halfway through and walk out while getting them to walk really slowly in real time to disturb the time synchronicity.

Many thanks. Yes, I tried slowing it down in PS, but I don't think it worked. I may try again it again, but remember I'm a time lapse newb.

Maybe some padding frames? If I only knew what I was talking about :cough:

Chris, if you, the forum sage, doesn't have a clue, then what hope have I, a complete and utter dunderhead. At least that's what Robyn says... :biglaugh:
