Check out this video I have on Vimeo. I wanted to test out some of the capabilities of my HPX500.

The previous two messages make more sense when the threads were separated. I must say it looks like most of the video views are coming from DVinfo net. Any questions anyone?

Daniel Epstein · December 16th, 2009, 12:20 PM

Both clips have been viewed (at least as Vimeo keeps count) over 250 times each. Thanks mostly to DVinfo Net

Hey Daniel,
Great videos, you have some really great shots in them!
The car shots were my favorite (good amount of motion blur on them). What shutter speed did you use for those shots?

Yes, the lack of responses seems to be the norm for this section of DVinfo - I find it strange because if you post a question on any of the other forums on DVinfo you get a thousand answers. The last video I posted has 120 views and not a single response, lol.

Keep up the great time-lapse!

Hey Paul,
I don't mind the no comments viewers but the comments are more fun. Sorry I didn't check in to see yours for a week. Glad you liked it
It is hard to say exactly which shutter speed I used without going back to the original data for each shot but I can tell you I tried to make them as long as possible while still being able to get a good exposure on the subject. Two seconds or more would often make the blur last long enough to go all the way through the frame. Longer if possible but I had to make it shorter than the interval between shots. One camera I used was usually set at 10 second interval and 1 was set at 5 second interval sometimes less.
The Speed Me Up Slow Me Down video is done with the HPX-500 so it doesn't have quite as much flexibility in the exposure lengths as the digital still cameras within the interval but I haven't tried it out at night enough to see if it can be made to look the same.

Great stuff. I have always enjoyed timelapse style videos.

Daniel Epstein · January 15th, 2010, 06:01 PM

Thanks Aaron. I see we are fellow Nyers. let me know if you have any questions.

Really nice. I aspire to shot video like this. I would have posted sooner but it took a couple of weeks to get privileges.
