2020 Nevada & Mojave ghost towns and mines

[Ray Dunakin]

Ray, I have a question: How many frame intervals did you choose for the opening shot?
thanks and cheers
Paul

For that time-lapse shot, each frame was exposed for 20 seconds. I don't remember for sure but I think the interval between shots was ten seconds, so the timer was second to snap a shot every 30 seconds. It's composed of 606 frames. I wanted 800 frames but the camera battery ran down before then.

BTW, the ISO was 12,800 and I used a 10mm lens with 2.8 aperture.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the tips! The wobbles in the accelerated footage bothered me too, but it never occurred to me to use stabilization.

The antelope was already running, the drone just joined him.

Great job!! If the wobble is too severe for stabilization, try cutting the wobble and use a fade transition in place. Problem is it disturbs the continuity of the shot, but you have to decide which is worse.

My 2020 trip to explore ghost towns and mining camps of Nevada and the Mojave desert was an incredible experience! I'm currently working on the many videos from the trip, featuring numerous historic sites as well as some stunning scenery and wildlife. Here's a little preview of what's to come.

Thanks. I don't have any trips planned at the moment. BTW, I figured out what the old truck is at that mine. It's a WWII Dodge WC54 field ambulance. The rear half behind the cab has been cut down to convert it into a homemade pickup truck. Here's a pic of what the ambulance looked like:
