Experimenting with Time-Lapse

It has been a week of experiments. A week that has seen me make my first attempt at Time-Lapse photography while standing on an icy bridge over looking the Boyne suspension Bridge near Drogheda County Louth Ireland. It was also the week were I made my first attempt at shooting star trails.

Why I decided to do this during one of the coldest Irish winters in years I will never know. But hey you gotta start sometime.

The time-lapse attempt was a lot of fun and it opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities. The result is far from perfect, however I have promised myself a return visit this week to try and improve on my earlier attempt.

Despite all the experimenting and traveling on icy roads my favourite image of the week was taken in the woods across from my home. The image of a frozen leaf which you can see below occurred when I dropped a lens cap and noticed the leaf and its delicate frosted coating.

I guess I need to start looking down more!
