The sky was beautiful yesterday, so I thought it’d be a great opportunity to shoot my first time lapse.

I shot the sky in multiple different angles, but only one of the angles came out decent (the one above). I was shooting this out the window of my apartment in East Lansing, MI. Took 283 stills, in just under 30 minutes, shooting each picture 10 seconds apart.

Definitely learned a lot by doing this. Number 1, make sure to ALWAYS keep your camera charged, you never know what you might run into. On the 284th shoot, my camera ran out of juice. Also, found putting this time lapse together in After Effects was a little bit difficult, probably because I picked it up two days go. Nevertheless great experience and hoping to do more like this later.

I did say I’d do a post on my first experience in doing slow motion. I promise, that post will be coming up next. So stay tuned !
