Lapse Photography Mk.II

Hi again.

I'm experimenting with lapse photography for a project at work and, now having access to some better equipment, I shot some pretty neat looking cloud formations outside my flat. Check them out, tell me what you think.

One of them is at the start of a snowfall, you can see the sky turning into a certain apocalyptic shade of black half-way through. The other is of the school across my flat, notice the kids playing football at the bottom.

Everything was shot with a Nikon DX set at 3sec exposure, 30 f-stops, with a home-made neutral density filter in front of the lens.

Lapse photography

I decided to try my hand at lapse photography. I used a consumer digital camera, which, with hindsight, was the reason I am not satisfied by the end result. Consumer cameras don't give the user enough control to do anything other than point and click. I suppose that's the point, but there is such a thing as a middle ground. Regardless, not being able to control the shutter speed made the video a bit staccato-like.
