First Time Lapse Video


 


Here goes the first video editing. On this cold Friday morning I am heading to the cottage.


I am probably going to pay for the full version of Movavi, so the water mark is not always in the middle of screen. The program seems very easy to work with, and the video quality weren't lost, but Youtube has compressed the video quite a bit, which shows much lower video quality compared to my local copy. I have got some work to do to preserve video quality when uploading to Youtube.

Making a Time Lapse Camera - 1

I thought it would be super cool to create a time-lapse of the cottage being built. With a bit of research, I decided to make a fun side project and here it goes with the steps I went through. Hopefully it will be helpful for you.  A standard DSLR camera is what I used for making time lapses with decent quality images. To capture time lapse for months and being on the construction site, I needed an external power source and somewhat weather proof.  Material list: Canon EOS 400D with standard 18-55 mm zoom lens, $500, I had one collecting dust for a quite while as you can see from the old model number 32 GB SanDisk compact flash memory card, to give about 6500 pictures with high quality, $45 Canon intervalometer for time controller, $35 DC 5V - DC 8.4V coupler, to connect camera dummy battery and USB power bank, $32 10400 mAh RavPower USB power bank with DC 5V 2.1A output, for powering the camera, $35 Dummy battery for the camera, so it can draw power from an external source, s...

Spring is here at the Lake!

  Spring is finally here at the Lake, also means flood season is near by the corner... Mother nature works tirelessly, from ice to water this happened just in the past month.  We had a few good rains in the last few days, 25 mm one day, and the water table was rising fast after those good rains. Fortunately, the ice started melting a month ago slowly and steadily, even with these rains, the flood doesn't look bad for this year, yet!     This place is so peaceful, we can hear nothing but nature sounds. Birds are chirping on early mornings. Near dusk, we often see Bucks families coming out of woods to play and eat. Thanks to Government of Canada Water Office for the Real-Time Hydrometric Data. The recorded historical high is about two and half meters higher than today's measurement.
