4 Season Time Lapse | Brinno TLC2000

The camera was set up to take photos every 10 minutes for a few months and then switched to take photos every 20 minutes during winter. In editing I increased the speed for most of the video at various multipliers and played a few segments back at normal speed. This was just to be able to observe certain changes better.

You can tell that here in northeast Ohio that we have very few sunny days outside of the summer months. The camera was set on a static timer to only take pictures between mostly daylight hours, but there was some purposeful overlap as winter set in where the sun sets earlier and rises later. I was hoping to capture the daylight hours transition as the days got shorter and longer throughout the seasons. But because of the speed up to make the video not long and boring it really didn't accentuate that well.

The camera was facing east to see the sun rise every day. I was hoping to see the sun rise at different parts of the horizon moving from right to left as the winter ended and spring started. But as expected, the prominent cloudy days didn't make that very apparent. Basically from the shortest day of the year you would see the sun rise in the middle right edge of the frame and for the longest day of the year you'd see it rise at the middle left edge of the frame.

For anyone looking to use a time lapse camera for months long recording, use a 20 minute interval. There is no need to take any more pictures per day than that. It gives the best battery life too. If you are looking to take pictures of clouds moving over a day or two, go with 5 minute intervals.

The camera never had any problems even in temperatures of 5F degrees. It has been running non stop for a full year. If you are only planning on using a camera for a day or two to take a time lapse of something, then an action camera might be better video quality, but any longer than that the Brinno is a much better choice (pretty much the only choice).

[TheBarlettano]

why do the branches move like that in winter?

[mariokythreotis]

Hi, great video! I’ve just brought this camera as I’m doing my first self build can you recommend setting? I was thinking 5 minute intervals? My build will be going on for months so any advise would be much appreciated

Sweet timelapse ❤️ here’s on ice just uploaded of the four seasons. Not as good as yours though

Summer does not 'end' in October and Winter does not 'start' in December

I’m surprised the trees turned green before turning red first. In spring where I live most trees turn red before they turn green. Maybe that’s why they’re called red maples.

tree branches go up and down in the winter? that's just creepy, lolz
