Moon-Lapse

Time-Lapse photography of La Luna

11/24 and 11/25/2006


I took all these pictures standing on the Harvard Bridge looking southwest. That is, if you were to follow Mass Ave from Cambridge to Boston, then as you were crossing the bridge you would look to the right towards the citgo sign.


Friday 11/24 6:46pm to 6:59pm

The following two animations are the same sequence but one is zoomed in. The pictures are spaced a minute apart on average, but not exactly. Click it to enlarge (then wait)





Saturday 11/25 5:50pm to 7:20pm

This sequence of photos was taken the very next night from approximately the same place. The first frame is a closeup of the moon earlier in the day. The second and third frames are closeups of the moon right before I captured the steady sequence. And, the next few images are me trying to get the moon properly in focus. Then there are 100 straight shots of the moon spaced exactly 1 minute apart. Click to enlarge (then wait for download).
