I figured I would do a test run first.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s the result of shooting 13&#8243; exposures at ISO800 (f5.6) on my 40D. I could&#8217;ve used the 5D with the 24 @ f2.8 with a lower ISO, but I was loathe to leave it out there just in case.<\/p>\n<p>The movie is up on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/5321442\">Vimeo<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><object width=\"450\" height=\"259\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5321442&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1\" \/><embed src=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5321442&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" width=\"450\" height=\"259\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/5321442\">Night Timelapse test<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/seanmcfoto\">Sean McCormack<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With help from John Beardsworth on Twitter, I was able to muck around and make the process of stacking these images to create a timelapse into an action.<br \/>\nThe process is straightforward: First run File>Automate>Load files into Stack.
