Time lapse experiment

[chkltcow]

Here's a few seconds of time lapse stuff I shot today after finding the intervalometer setting on my camera. It's 80 frames at 24 frames per second... one frame every 10 minutes... over a little over 13 hours... lights on until lights off. The sun shows on it most of the day, but it's really not as close to the window as it looks like it is.

I find it fairly amazing. The plant in the back is a cryptocoryne ciliata. Watch it closely... over just 13 hours, you can see it grow a bit and stand up more :) The wendtii in the front is moving in the current all day, looks pretty cool.

I'll add more over the next few days.... and by that I mean more plants and more footage. The PVC pipe will eventually HOPEFULLY be covered completely by java fern and java moss. Either way, it still serves as a nice hiding place for my clown loaches.

Requires Quicktime

I'm a Mac geek, and I can easily just open Quicktime Pro and choose Open Image Sequence... and it's all nice and pretty.

1) Heheh, sadly they seem exactly that fast when I'm trying to take a normal picture of them.

2) It's a Canon G3 camera. In the menu, there's a thing for "intervalometer". I set it to take one picture every 10 minutes, and left it on a tripod pointed at my tank. I'm gonna do the same thing for the next few days and keep adding to the footage.

3) Thanks. My wife picked him out. When we got him, he was almost white... had very little color to him. After he got in that big 55g tank and had some room to move around, he got that bright bright shade of red in just a day or two! If you look close, there's even a nice bit of blue at the base of all his fins.
