Cloudy Day

Yesterday there were plenty of clouds racing across the sky so I set up the Fujifilm IS-1 with the 720nm IR filter and left it taking one photo every 6 seconds until the batteries ran out. Total taken - 910 shots batch converted to greyscale with Irfanview and dropped en masse in trakAxPC, titles and soundtrack added:



CLOUDS

Clouds are very clever things
They aren't held up with hooks or strings
They have no wings to help them fly
They simply hang there in the sky
George Ansell  from Poems for Kids

The setup:
Camera on a sturdy tripod.
Home brew intervalometer powered by 12V battery on the table:

  1. This is very impressive. I'm amazed how fast the leaves change temperature.
    I could never get the intervalometer to work. I ended up buying a S/H one.

    1. Adrian: I was reading somewhere that the light coloured vegetation is caused by reflected IR light which would explain why it changes so fast.
      I have a cheap commercial intervalometer for the Canon but couldn't find one for the Fuji so adapted a cable release for it to go with my home brew one.

  2. A very stable set up you have there, John. Not a wobble even with the breezes. Thanks for letting me know that the photos weren't showing up in my post. I got them reloaded and hope they stay put this time!
