Starscape timelapse test with my DSLR
http://youtu.be/7GWELPPMJKE
I got some good feedback last time I posted on this forum. I produced my first starscape time lapse video. Would be cool if I got some feedback on it. I shot this on my Canon 600D/T3i HDSLR with the EF 50mm f/1.8 II prime lens. I shot with a 20 second exposure, with 25 second intervals using Magic Lantern on a 32gb SD card. Auto white balance, and ISO. I left the camera shooting for around 16 minutes. |
The embedded ad actually makes it hard to watch, because the video is so short. By the time you click the X on the Google ad, the 0:05 (5s) are up. If you're going to have Google ads, I'd run at least 10 seconds of black, with some sort of label (intro logo or title), which allows a person to X the ad away.
Generally speaking, unless the video is at least 30 seconds long, it's really nothing more than a test clip. Of course, I did read the description, and understand why it's only 5 seconds... Quote:
I actually don't think I'd have a problem with clouds, if it was passing clouds, as opposed to a complete blotting out of the sky. That might make it more interesting that a normal sky, in fact. It would give it a sense of movement and action, if nothing else. (The plane did give a fleeting sense of action, but it was so short as to be confused with a bug, digital glitch, or the unlikely errant UFO.) There's definitely some "hot spot" in the center of the image. This may be a weakness of either the glass, or of the sensor. The video appears slightly blurry ... but I think that's an artifact of the Youtube compression and resizing. You should attach an unaltered (unraped) version to a forum reply. Youtube just makes too much of a mess of videos sometimes, and I'm afraid this may be one of those times. If you attach it here, I can embed it at full size (max 720p). The exposure feels a bit light for calibrated computer monitors in sRGB space, but looks pretty good for NTSC specs. I ran it across several monitors. So I think I'd call that a pass. I like where this is going... but keep going. :congrats: |
