… I bring you; the sunset. This is my first attempt at time lapse photography, and, although this was the first sunset that I’ve seen in Palo Verde that was dominated by clouds, I think it came out well. The choppiness and appearance of upward movement of the sun is a result of cloud cover, so perhaps I’ll attempt this again sometime soon to get a clearer, more standard sunset.
My camera doesn’t have an automatic interval shutter release setting, so I sat in the wetland and pushed the shutter release every 20 sec for about an hour and ten minutes. Almost the entire time, a calf stood next to me and mooed loudly. Let me know what you think.
Holy shit, that is awesome. I can’t believe you actually kept it up for that long. The choppiness isn’t that bad. Maybe next time you should go every 10 seconds.
Also, you should checkout this blog. I think you’ll really like it.

Part of the choppiness is from the 10 frames/sec setting. I’ve made another video and when I get around to uploading it to YouTube, post it again or something. It was a lot of fun though and I may do a sun rise soon.
