Hi Steemit!
Today, I read @julikponsford's post about her #artexplosion competition, and the latest theme being that of time. I really, really want to compete in this weekly competition; as time has always been a part of my creative practice.
Previously, I have experimented in this field through the medium of video; and still images; however I've never really felt like I've "nailed" a depiction of time.
I still haven't - it is something I might spend the rest of my life doing.
The one thing I never did in any of my creative work, ever; was document time through the medium of time lapse photography. I've done plenty of long exposure photography (and would love to do more!) - I've done astral photography; (and would love to do more) - and portrait photography (I would love to do more) - but I've never ever done time lapse photography.
Today, I tried it for the first time, using my tripod, DSLR, and some software I googled for and downloaded. Below, you'll find the outcomes; which are very, very basic. I feel as though the third is the smoothest, even though it is the lowest resolution.
I will attempt to capture some more stuff, with heavier shadows; and for a longer period, with a more interesting composition, soon. I thoroughly enjoying "playing with time"; and the moving image is the best media for this.
Please let me know what you think! (Even if it is shit!)
Good to see some timelapse stuff happening on Steemit. I have tons of tips for you if need.
It's quite hard to see from these videos what you wanted to achieve, so it's a bit hard to give comments.
Which settings did you use? There seems to be some seconds of pure black in the end, did you do any exposure control or editing?
Davinci Resolve is for free now and you can import canon raw directly, so that pretty good for serious timelapses. You can do all the color grading and editing you would ever need.
Also qDSLR dashboard is an amazing free program for capturing timelapse that let's you control and monitor the exposure during the shoot.
I've used both a lot and they can really bring up your stuff to a decent level very quickly.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I shot in manual mode; manual focus, and the end is black because I didn't trim the frames there.
I forgot about Resolve as a piece of the puzzle. Thanks for reminding me!
The only thing I want to achieve through time lapse is the message of "here is a section of time, mechanically captured; unaltered, and sequenced" it more about making the work represent this.

That's cool. I really hope to see a big timelapse community on steemit so I'm just happy the more people who post about it!

Nice. The mundane nature of the scene works really well.
I had a bit of fun with an underwater camera.
