The photo below is one frame from a video I took of a very large American flag in Boise. It has been a very popular download on the iStockPhotos site. It was captured with the Canon 5D MkII digital SLR.

The post for today will be somewhat different than normal. Instead of a regular still image I’ve added a video that I shot this past weekend. What is interesting about this video is that I shot it with my still camera. The camera was set up on a tripod with a timer attached to the trigger. I set the timer to take a photo once every 10 seconds. 6 1/2 hours later I had captured the day in 2,335 photos. These photos were put together using Apple’s Quicktime Pro software to display 30 photos a second. That works out to 6 1/2 hours of shooting being shown in 78 seconds.
This technique is referred to as “Time Lapse Photography.
The day starts out quite foggy, but soon breaks in to sunshine with clouds rolling in over the valley.
