Time Lapse in the Garden

My son bought me a time lapse camera as a thoughtful gift last year. He finally set it up this spring and he removed the card yesterday. Apparently you can also "stitch" these images together. It takes a photo at set intervals. The results, after almost 300 pictures were interesting. Some pictures were in the depth of night, no usable image, some had sunlight streaming into the lens. But the progression was impressive. I think the best images might come from frequent pictures of an individual or group of flowers opening.

Here is a photo from the beginning of April and one from near the end of May. What a difference 2 months and tons of rain make! Obviously the camera had moved a little during the time elapsed.

Incredible, F! I think there must be a "lesson" in this. I always marvel at how the changing seasons provide such a beautiful and new perspective.

F, this is really wonderful!

Also it is economical too! Can't wait to see if you make a Slide Show with Linda's directions. Recently I've made a few but my ADD caused me to loose interest and patience with my unfinished projects. HA!

It took months but my son needed to make a video of a time lapse sequence for a course he's taking So here is the garden growing over 2 months in a video format.
