I purchased an AC adapter for my camera and it arrived yesterday. I have been wanting to create some really fun and interesting time lapse videos but I knew my batteries wouldn’t hold out long enough.

This video is of my bedroom curtains. One of my favorite things in my bedroom. I love how the light shines through them each morning and changes as the sun rises. I may try to record from the time I wake up until noon sometime to give a full effect.

The music in this video is suitable because this will truly be one of the things I miss when I move away from home.

The music is "Goodbye Sooner or Later" by oldDog.

Technical: I recorded video footage for 46 minutes (the maximum I can record on a 1GB memory stick). I imported the video into Sony Vegas Movie Studio (Platinum Edition). I speed the footage up as fast as I could, rendered it out in an uncompressed format. Pulled it back in and speed it up even more, rendered it back out. Pulled it back in, added saturation and luminance, music and exported. The reason I had to render it out twice was because Sony Vegas has a speed limit, I guess is a good way to put it!

I was wanting to get out of the house and away from the computer this afternoon. I grabbed my camera and tripod and walked around the yard looking for something interesting to photograph. I really wasn’t having much luck finding anything to photograph because everything sort of looked dull or I felt I had over photographed it already. So, I switched to video mode and recorded this.

After recording it I speed it up a bit. I didn’t want to go the complete 1:30 so I just done 1:09. I wanted to show the field coming to life a little quicker.

From the position I took this video I waited for probably 10 minutes. The sun was behind the clouds and just before the sun came out I started recording.

The music in this video is Surveying Park Hill Prairie by Gurdonark.
