Sunset At Fishermans Wharf
This turned out to be more tricky that I was expecting. This was 998 frames starting at 7:01pm on April 19th (1/400 of a second at f11), ending at 9:14pm (5 second exposure at f5). It was shot at 28mm. The camera is in shutter priority and I drop the shutter time in half again and again as the lighting gets dark.

The tricky part was that I was on a floating dock and I didn't realize at the time, but every time I moved, the dock shifted. I used Fiji to register the images, but my Mac only have enough RAM (16GB) to do 1/3 of the video at a time.

Ferry Wharf At Granville Island
This dock is normally quite busy with sea bus customers, but with Covid, that is all shut down. I started taking photos at 7:23pm (1/100 at f20) and ended 621 frames later at 8:46pm (2.5 seconds at f10).
The dock is so large that me walking around didn't change the camera pointing angle.

Fireworks Time Lapse From Burrard Bridge
This was tricky. I had the camera in shutter speed priority until the fireworks started and then switched to manual mode to get a reasonable exposure.

This is 1071 frames shot 6 second apart for 107 minutes or 1 hour and 47 minutes. It is played back at 15 fps so it isn't all flashes and the boats don't look crazy fast. I wanted to take more photos after so you could see the rush of boats come back but a little girl needed to go pee.

Roadside Mining
There is a small deposit of pyrite in this rock face. The kids mostly broke the cubes out of the pieces already chipped off, but this mean the cubes they found were small.

We started taking photos at 3:21 pm and I took a photo every 6 seconds. I took 358 photos but I had to remove 75 photos where my low hanging shorts showed my underwear. I rendered it to 15 frames per second video because 30 fps make us look crazy. I stopped shooting at 3:56 and we left shortly after.

Setting Up Camp
This timelapse was inspired by a timelapse I did last year at Rathtrevor. I took a photo every 10 seconds starting at 5:00:38 pm and took 271 pictures (ended at 5:45:38). I made the same mistake as last year - I left the auto focus on so the camera refocused from time to time which on this lens changes the focal length (effectively zooms). To fix it I used the auto align layers command in photoshop which took approximately 18 hours to run. The auto align wasn't perfect, but it's an improvement.

The video was assembled at 15 frames per second which makes it just over 18 seconds long.

Beach Sky
Sky time lapses are hard. I started taking photos at 10:56:40 on July 21st and ended at 11:46:10. I took a photo every 33 seconds roughly for 92 exposures. The exposure was 30 seconds long.

The town on the horizon is Powell River.

Saiwash Rock Sunset
You can see the tide is going out over the course of this video. There was a Great Blue Heron fishing from the rock but it did eventually fly away.
354 pictures, taken between 9:03pm and 10:34pm, roughly every 16 seconds.

Fort Langley Campfire At Sunset
394 Frames. The exposure kind of falls apart at the end so I had to do the blend two frames trick to stop the flickering.

Second Night Campfire
642 Frames - started at roughly 1/4 of a second every 10 seconds, ended at 8 seconds every 10 seconds. I used silent mode that prevent you from seeing the exposure as it shoots (but is much quieter. I had to change the exposure on most of the frames to get the exposure to run smoothly and even then it was a bit of a mess.

Most of the kids are from the other tent's.

Pennybacker Bridge
I took an exposure every 6 seconds starting at 6:25 am. I started at 5 second exposures at ISO 800 and f4 and finished at ISO 100 at f8.

Setting Up Campsite
Shot taken every 15 seconds, 160 frames (40 minutes) total. The popping in and out was because I left the camera with focus on so sometimes it focuses closer and that changes the effective focal length. My bad.

Good Creek Fire
The fire was started by a lighting strike the day before. The Okanagan Mountain Park fire was in the same general area so there wasn't much fuel left for this fire to burn.

I setup my tripod in the door of the car while I waited in the lineup to get to our camp site (close to the Mount Enas fire). This is a photo every 10 seconds. I needed to do quite a bit of stabilization in post because the tripod wasn't super stable.

Mount Enas Fire
As we got closer to the Mount Enas Fire, we got a better view of the extent of it.

10 second gap between photos. Some stabilization between frame 10 and 150 when we weren't moving.

Terra Nova Sunset
This is 334 images, one taken every 16 seconds (mistake #1). The exposure started at 1/4 of a second at f20 and ended at 15 seconds at f3.2. Shot ISO 100 the whole time. I missed 6 images because the exposure went from 15 seconds to 20 seconds so when it tried to reshoot 16 seconds later, it was still taking the previous image.

I had to change the exposure. I did that on the command line using lines from a spread sheet like exiftool -Exposure2012=-0.43 DSC_09999.dng .

The images are turned into a video on the command line using:

ffmpeg -framerate 15 -pattern_type glob -i 'DSC*.jpg' -c:v libx264 -filter "minterpolate='mi_mode=blend:fps=30'" -profile:v high -level 4.2 -pix_fmt yuv420p out_compat31.mp4

Milky Way From Whytecliff Park
90 frames x 30 seconds each is roughly 45 minutes of tripod time. I first started shooting at 13 second exposures and it took me a few minutes to realize my mistake (those frames were discarded). The camera wasn't very level when I shot it (hard to get right when so much of the frame is black) so these images are cropped.
