My first attempt at time-lapse photography. This view is from my office window during a rain storm. A photograph was taken once every 5 seconds for 4 hours. The resulting video is about 90 seconds long. I wish I had started the time-lapse a little earlier to capture the storm clouds gathering. The first few seconds are pretty dramatic. Such is life living in the PNW (Pacific North West)! Captured on August 18, 2024.

Yet-another attempt with time-lapse photography. This was about 5 hours (4pm - 9pm) compressed into about 100 seconds. Captured on August 20, 2024. Details: Nikon D500, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 @ 26mm, aperture-priority @ f/8, auto iso range 100-8000, shutter speed range 1/80 to 5s.

This was about 2 hours compressed into about 22 seconds. It was a test using an old D80 camera. The video is kind of choppy because the intervalometer was acting up. It's supposed to take a picture every 5 seconds, but it missed a lot of them and I don't know why yet. This one was interesting to watch as two layers of clouds are moving in somewhat opposite directions. Captures on August 22, 2024. Details: Nikon D80, Nikon 24-70mm F/2.8 @ 24mm, aperture-priority @ f/8, auto iso range 100-100, shutter speed range 1/400 - 1/200s.

This was about 8.5 hours compressed into about 3.5 minutes. Captured on August 27, 2024. Details: Nikon D80, Nikon 10-24mm @ 24mm, aperture-priority @ f/8, auto iso range 100-100, shutter speed range 1/320 - 1/200s.

This was about 15 hours (6:00am - 9:00pm) compressed into about 6 minutes. There is something on the window on the left side. I think a bird flew over and "dropped the kids off". Captured on September 1, 2024. Details: Nikon D80, Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 @ 24mm, aperture-priority @ f/8, auto iso range 100-1600, shutter speed range 1/400 - 5s.

Another attempt with time-lapse photography. This was about 3 hours compressed into about 1 minute. There's a slight "hiccup" in the middle due to user error, meaning, I messed up with the timer! Captured on August 19, 2024.

This was about 8 hours (12:30pm - 8:30pm) compressed into about 3 minutes. Captured on August 21, 2024. Details: Nikon D500, Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 @ 24mm, aperture-priority @ f/8, auto iso range 100-8000, shutter speed range 1/80 - 5s.

This was about 11 hours compressed into about 4 minute. Captured on August 26, 2024. Details: Nikon D80, Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 @ 24mm, aperture-priority @ f/8, auto iso range 100-1600, shutter speed range 1/320 - 1s.
