Wow that's pretty good, how did you go about setting this up exactly and what did you use? also what times did it run between? I noticed one of the cranes was still moving until it was almost dark which must have been quite late.

How it was done...

Postby gordonjcp » Mon Jun 19, 2006 9:33 pm

allyharp: It was done using a semi-knackered Sony V6000 camera - one of the big old sits-on-your-shoulder Hi8 ones. Mine has the dreaded knackered electrolytics but the picture stabilises after about half an hour of running. I use it because I can lock down aperture, gain and white balance - the latter being the more important, although the brightness pumps quite badly so I need to work on better aperture settings. Basically as the day goes on the light does actually change colour a bit, and this will deeply upset a camera set for auto white balance.

It was captured on an el-cheapo TV capture card using mencoder on Linux, with the capture frame rate set to (IIRC) 0.125fps (200x normal speed). It was then recoded to retime it up to 25fps (otherwise you end up just getting a string of eight seconds long frames), again using mencoder.

The sequence was taken from around 0830 to around 2345. I'd like to run one from midnight to midnight some time.

And no, I haven't worked out what the regularly-flashing lights are yet.

Brilliant! Loved it! We couldn't place the area, been out the town too long. Assuming the hills in the distance are the Campsies it would shot from somewhere in the southside?

Watched it. The lengths people will go to, for a burger ;)

interesting. Do you live in Mugdock or were you return from a little night time rendezvous?

No, just heading back from a bit of late-night photography around the castle.
