Time-lapse (test run)

Today I had my first go at creating a time-lapse. My goal is to incorporate this into a multimedia project I'll be starting centered around the theme of just how stinking hot it is here in Texas right now.

Step 1 was to just go out and get my feet wet in how this sort of thing works. I decided on the Tidwell Bible Building as the sun was setting. After loading these 368 images (that's an image shot every 5 seconds for nearly 30 minutes), I came upon a glitch. What I found out was the version of photoshop I have on my computer doesn't allow me to import all of these photos.

So, as an abbreviated version, below are 5 images from the sequence to show the effect I'll be going for.

Also, before posting the photos, I'll share a couple of things I learned right off the bat.
1) Bring a book. 30 minutes takes a long time while you're just standing around.
2) Bug spray. I guess I've learned nothing in the 3-plus years I've been here in Texas. Mosquitoes are everywhere at that time of day!
3) For a proper, widescreen movie format, I'll be shooting horizontal, rather than vertical, in my next attempts.
