Very nice work! Wow that's a lot of contrails in the top video. I never realized that the contrails also move with the wind, figures.. Is this from douche's window? It would also be fun if you could make on when the factory on the bottom left is active.
Did you fix your old camera or did you find new software for your new one?
And might I suggest adding some music to your videos in the future, it makes viewing more fun.
Yes, I also noticed the contrails after making the video, gives a nice effect. I should make one of a clear sky, when contrails are visible.
It is from our roof window (yes, many much ducktape :) )
Let me know when that factory is active and I'll set up my camera.
I used my new camera with custom firmware. I thought the batteries would be a problem, but it shot 3000 images and batteries are still far from empty (I turned the screen off). Memory becomes an issue.
I would make these videos in 1080p if compressing wouldn't take so long and my own CPU could actually play it.
If you have some good music suggestions to go with these kind of videos, let me know. I didn't want to spend too much time searching for music and don't like adding some random music. I agree that suitable music would be great.
Best thing is that I finally know how to make good quality HD movies from still images. Took some time to get every step right (software, cropping, codecs, frame-rate, shooting interval, focus, resolution, etc).
Also does your camera give good results of stars on long exposure night shots (30 sec)?. That would be awesome to see the stars and airplanes move around. My camera gives slightly smudged stars due to their movement at 30 sec exposure, but that wouldn't matter in a timelapse.
I tried to make a star timelapse this ski vacation.
The YouTubes only swallow 24-25 fps movies for HD (at least in my experience) and I only made a few pictures so it will be a very short and fast movie. I'll stitch it and see how it turns out. Give me a minute :)
Here it is. Just a test. It was made from a balcony with no good view of the sky, only mountains and trees, so no polestar with rotating disk.
I used a relative short exposure time to avoid the stripes, but the stripes may not be a problem for videos. Too bad our home sky isn't the best star sky in the world.
A long exposure night series pointed at the intersection by the petrol station of our street might also look nice with all the car light smudged out like in high exposure stills.
Nice result with the stars. I think the striped stars would be a bonus because that gives an extra boost to the movement effect, a kind of motion blur.
To get my suggestion of the cars right, I would think you'd need to take consecutive shots without pause so that the stripes the cars make are continuous. Something like this.
It does have the problem of stepwise continuous light stripes. I could try a longer exposure time, but long exposure times also need long after processing time which causes long pauses between images. I need two cameras working together or more expensive equipment for that.

Now I'm waiting for a great thunderstorm!
I have looked for some appropriate music in my collection (and linked to YouTube version):
The Beatles - Here comes the sun
Yonderboi - People Always Talk About the Weather
Eels - Mr E's Beautiful Blues
I Am Kloot - Storm warning
Dido - See the Sun
Smash Mouth - Walkin' On The Sun

Cool, thanks for the music.

All the original high quality tracks should be in my shared music folder btw.

"A long exposure night series pointed at the intersection by the petrol station of our street.."
I did give it a try some time ago:

Oh yes of course. My camera also needs a lot of time to process an image after long exposure.
