There’s a window of about two months from mid-December to mid-February when the sunset is visible from this spot in the garden. This is a sample video created using the toolchain described below, it was taken in our garden and shows a sunset over Carmarthen Bay in South Wales. 2 My starting point is a camera full of images that need to be converted to a time lapse video. Note that the description below doesn’t cover the mechanics of capturing the photos in the first place, there are many tutorials and explanations available online. This wasn’t quite as simple but I think that I’ve come up with some workable options 1. Having started to create some time lapse videos I was again interested in a FOSS toolchain.

It’s easy to use and there’s a wealth of online documentation and tutorials. Update: For more related posts click on the “ Timelapse” entry in the “Categories” list.įor a while now I’ve been processing the digital images from my camera using Free & Open Source Software ( FOSS ), mainly using the GNU Image Manipulation Program ( GIMP).
