Time Lapse (Pic Heavy)

[407370]

Hi All,

This will take a minute to explain so get a refreshing beverage

I wanted to get a time lapse of a glass table reflecting the sky / clouds moving over a fixed object. I came up with this:

Nikon Z8 + Nikkor 28 - 75mm F2.8

The tip of the lens is about 6 Cm / 2 Inches from the pig. Lens set at around 30mm / F8

I ended up with this (converted from 1920 x 1080 MP4 to GIF):

20 Minutes duration with a pic every 5 seconds:

I liked the bits where I shone a torch onto the pigs face but it was waaaayyyy too blue.

Soooo... I got a bit creative. The extra light needed to be closer to the pigs natural tones. Bring on the golden glossy paper:

See the pics below to see the difference between with / without gold reflector:

Without reflector:

With Reflector:

I found the end result much more palatable: BONUS SPIDER CRAWL!!

Great fun to do.
