Here is a high resolution panoramic view of a beach we visited in Michigan. It isn’t a great photo technically, but it is fun to scroll around so I decided to post it.

Minneapolis Clouds
I’ve been experimenting with ways to take the best time lapse using the Canon 5d Mark II and I’ve come up with two distinct methods that are worth sharing.

Foggy night in Minneapolis (Video)
This is a video I made while out taking photos this evening. The original duration was about 14 minutes and was sped up by 3,000% to a final duration of just under 30 seconds. It was filmed with my canon 5D Mark II and Sigma 1.4 50mm and post processing was done in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
In this shot are the 10th Avenue Bridge, Interstate 35W (Blue) and the Stone Arch Bridge.

Minneapolis Moon Time Lapse
This video was shot between 10:30PM and 1:30AM starting on 3/3/2010 from the Minneapolis Grain Exchanging looking east. Shots were taken at 10 second intervals and the final playback speed is 30fps. A Sigma 50mm 1:1.4 was used at about f/2.8 allowing for 1/40th second exposures. The frames were rendered in to a high quality H264 video and uploaded to Vimeo.
