Sunday ...

A not so lazy Sunday afternoon in the local business district:

Wisemans Ferry

Another time lapse; one in a more rural setting.





And on the way home, another stop on the banks of the Hawkesbury River (at Mooney Mooney):

Laings Point

Can you tell that Sydney experienced a number of excellent weekends recently? Yes, I've been out for quite a bit of time lapse fun, and I have every intention to release the results for everyone to see (whether you take that as a threat or a promise is up to you).

This time, I found a brilliant spot near South Head:

Time lapsing again

Another time lapse attempt, this time from Howley Park.

Nighttime time lapse

Another attempt at combining light streak photography and time lapse; this time with more frames, shot specifically for this purpose (unlike last week, when I originally set out to just get one decent light streak photo).



The slight wobble in the second video demonstrates a vital rule for time lapsing: Always turn off the camera's auto focus.




My thanks to Aldi for providing very convenient rooftop parking in such a great vantage point.

Sydney Harbor

More time lapse fun with Sydney's famous harbour

Time lapse at night

Very short time lapse; built from a small series of light streaks pics.

Time lapse experiment

My first attempt at time lapse photography...




And another one...


I was hoping for a more interesting plot along the lines of "ferry arrives, people board vessel, ferry departs"; but no less than 3 consecutive ferries were, according to announcements, full and therefore wouldn't stop to pick up additional passengers. The funniest part was when some of the stranded would-be travelers started asking about a reinforcement vessel. Remember folks, this is Sydney Ferries you're dealing with, famous for stuffing things up and then leaving you on your own.
