One of the coolest things we get to do with our new HD Cameras is shoot stills. Actually the new HD cameras are Pro Photo cameras that happen to shoot video. Canon never envisioned that they would explode the way they have. I believe this is the best time ever in the history of filmmaking. We can shoot near 35mm film quality with these cameras and just a few thousand dollars in lenses….well ok maybe a little more than that but you get the point.

With a timer remote hooked to our camera we are able to set the shutter to snap a picture every second or every 2 seconds or however long we set it to. Then we just let her go and when we’re done we import all the pictures into our editing system and just speed it up! I think the coolest thing about timelapses is that you really travel through time and see its beauty in a whole new way.

So here is something I shot last night at the park near our house in Oldsmar. I really wanted to stay well past sunset until it got dark. But I had to go. Maybe next time? This timelapse is over 2700 still photographs.
