I’ve admired time-lapse photography for some time now; mostly through viewing websites on the Internet and what you see on TV from time to time.  I can attest that once you get the bug to give it go, you can easily get hook – for a time anyway.  As mentioned in a previous post, time-lapse photography is time-intensive.  Last week I made some time for more practice.

The second shoot of the week was in another favorite location – Pine Creek.  A lovely little spring creek not far from Maiden Rock, WI (off of Hwy 35 and AA; then Rustic Road 51).

I setup right in the stream just off of the road.  I did not figure I would encounter any traffic in the early morning hours along this minimum maintenance road, but I was wrong.  You’ll notice a few instances of ripples in the video as a result.

The sun had already risen and was making its way along the ridge of the bluff out in front of me.  The sun flares that resulted as the sun rose higher in the air were very nice surprise.  I had only anticipated cloud movement in the sky as well as reflected in the stream.  I also had hoped for some moving shadows; those were more prevalent in the other angle I shot (next post).  I shot for 2 1/2 hours in his location.  I am pretty happy with the result.
