Mapping the Avon
Photography workshop
My camera rig with a fish-eye lens
The aim of this workshop is to enable you to make an animated sequence of images that can be used on the dome. See the dome page for more technical information about the format. The sequence will take the form of a timelapse series of images taken with your camera from a fixed position over a period of time. We are trying to photograph natural phenomena capturing at intervals of 1 to 10 seconds and playing back at approximately 24 frames per second - creating a speeded up effect.
we are looking for suitable access points on the river
Definition: time lapse photography is where a camera, typically in a fixed position, automatically records a sequence or series of photos with a set time interval between each image. Individual images may then be analysed or all of the images can be combined to produce a movie that shows the action faster (or slower) than in real life. A digital camera is ideal since there are no film costs, the multiple digital images can quickly and easily be assembled, the result can be saved into a variety of digital movie formats and distribution can be electronic - unfortunately not all models support time lapse.

Bring your camera and tripod if you have one (bring the camera instruction manual) you can use any camera for this but digital is better
