My first foray into Timelapse Video. Lessons for next time: 1. Don't forget anything at home. 2. Bring a book... and a jacket. 3. The wide open apeture setting reduces flicker, but the depth of field makes things look out of focus on f/1.4... Better to accept some flicker and fix in post-processing. 4. Shooting on North Ave footbridge is way too shaky. Image stabilization is a pain in the neck. 5. Egg timer motion devices don't handle the weight of a DSLR very well. Image stabilization is still a pain in the neck.
In next Friday’s full episode we set sail from the Aeolian Islands bound for Corsica with light winds forecast….the wind was so light at times that we found ourselves becalmed on a mirror flat sea drifting around in circles or backwards. We tried to be patient but then dark clouds began to appear and the radar tracked storms moving towards us. Wind then arrived allowing us to finally sail but when the lightning started we realised we needed to try to get out of the path of the storm…. #boatlife #sailing #sailinglife #becalmed #medsailing #sailaroundtheworld
