Star Lapse

[CanonRebelz]

Hey there. Much thanks to Hayward_Taylor for the idea of doing a star movement time-lapse video.
I know, this is kind of rough, and really short but I put a lot of effort into it and it took longer than I expected.
Thanks for viewing, this is my 2nd time trying this, so if you've ever done this, feel free to leave me some constructive criticism. Happy shooting =D
If you cannot see the video on here, go to Stars Time-lapse by CanonRebelz. Thanks.


Set-up:
One 20-second exposure every 20 seconds.
I used my iPod "Clock" thing and went to stopwatch, and after every exposure I would start the stopwatch. Once it reached 10.00 (sometimes I'd forget and it would hit 20-30), I would press the shutter again. The shutter was set to 10 sec timer, so there's the 20 (or more) second wait. That's why it took so long, thank goodness I didn't need to do it every 1 min. >_<
Music by Vitamin Quartet from the album "String Quartet Tribute to Relient K".
So, again, thanks to Hayward_taylor for the idea!!

I put a lot of effort into it and it took a very long time to do this
so please leave me some feedback/constructive criticism

Sometimes the feedback we get doesn't reflect the hard work.
We create our work becuase we want to, because its a challenge, because we can, and because its fun, the feedback is a bonus. Well done Canon, I very much enjoyed your star trek, thank you.

great idea! I'm certianly not experienced enough to give real feedback, but I'm working on star tracks now. Your video has vivid stars without overexposed sky; something I'm struggling with. Never thought of making a video! From a first glance it was really cool...love the music that went with it. There is a "bump" at :06 and :04, but otherwise...GREAT! What were the bursts of light towards the end? were they asteroids or shooting stars?

Thanks for sharing!

Hey any feedback is feedback, good or bad. Post it (without being too mean ).
Oh i see! Star trails are tough, I tried but I don't have a shutter release (wired/remote whatever) to do it so my results always end up shaky looking. Yeah, time lapse video's are something I never tried, closest thing I could get to a star trail
haha.
Yes the bumps, sorry about that. Those were cloud's that passed by, it was weird to see clouds! ha ha. I want to one day spend the whole night outside and do a time lapse, and when the video would come together it would be dizzying. Lol but I don't have that kind of patience!
Thaks very much

Hello again Canon, I was reading through some of the comments, including the above.
If you have inspired just one person, there are then no limits as to how far your inspiration may spread, well done

Thanks, Steve. (hey now that I know your name I don't have to call you beach anymore ha ha) That is one of my goal's with photography, to inspire people. I know plenty of pictures have inspired me, including some of your's, so I hope to do the same for other people.
Have a good day.
