This time lapse was definitely a labor of love, a test of patience and a possibly a fools errand all rolled in to one. I actually shot this close to 5 months ago while I was camping with the family in the Adirondack Mountains. I had a beautiful scene framed, with the clouds, water and mist all moving along different planes, but the lake wasn't as isolated as this final product makes it out to be. There were actually quite a few early morning adventurers out in kayaks during my capture. When the time lapse was compiled when I got home, it looked like a group of dragonflies were darting around the screen the way their paddles kept popping up and down and how they seamlessly moved through the water. I ended up individually re-touching 570 images using Photoshop's "Content-Aware Fill". It worked out wonderfully thanks to the rolling mist over the water, which was consistently giving me motion. That helped hide any inconsistencies the software created.
Since my trip was short, and this was really the only clip I could get while I was there, I was determined to make it work. Hope you can use it for something!!!
