Condensed one year into two minutes, Time lapse images where the four seasons of the forest can be experienced at Mach

It is a movie that set the camera so that it can take pictures of the forest from the living room's window automatically every day with the camera and shrink the seasons of 1 year into 2 minutes.

Although the author has skipped hits many times in the movie photographed the transition of the four seasons, from the stoic feeling that it wants to make a movie using only the photograph that genuinely fixed point photographing without editing, dedicated shelf I installed the camera on the window side, fixed the camera, and assembled the system. The handmade making make you admire that traces of your efforts can not be imitated easily as it seems to be an existence.

A movie that can be enjoyed in just two minutes after one year's change and commentary on time lapse shooting are below.Eirikso.com >> One year in 2 minutes

In January 2010, the author Eirik Solheim built a system to record the whole landscape visible from the window side of the house for a whole year. Its structure is physically simple, it was made possible to set fixed point by placing a single lens reflex on a handmade shelf.

By the way, the camera seems to be a Canon school, and Canon 400D used material shooting. It is older than 5D Mark II he currently uses in the main, but it was chosen because it was reliable as much as it used for a long time.

By the way, I told that the lens was fitted with EF - S 10 - 22. As a result of various trial shots, the ISO sensitivity was fixed at 400, the F value was fixed at 6.3, the exposure and white balance were set to auto, and the image data was set to be saved in both RAW and JPEG.


The camera was glued to ensure absolutely no position shift for 1 year.


After covering the shelves with black cloth and eliminating the window glass transfer, the setting of the camera is completed.


It seems that it was set to operate one Mac for shooting, automatically control the single lens reflex using software, and set the shutter to be off once every 30 minutes. Also, with Mac and cameraUPS (uninterruptible power supply)Measures are taken to prevent the interruption of shooting even if it suffers some power failure.

While the image transfer from the camera to the server failed several times, while the system was hit by an accident that some data was lost, the system generally operated normally, and it seems that he succeeded in photographing 16,000 pictures .


Looking at the appearance of 12 months, it looks like this. It is certainly clear that the four seasons are changing at the same position.














There are only a huge number of photographs in the actual movie, it is caught finely and finely as fast as the snow is piled up and it is synchronized with the music, so it is quite a good response There is.
