I have picked time-lapse photography for my FMP as it really interests me. I love the way that it shows something that would normally have a slow state-of-change and with the simple technique of speeding up shows it in a complete different way that I find truly fascinating. I wanted to show the sun set in the evening which would normally take hours so by making the process of viewing faster you get to see things in a way you would not see normally. If you was to watch the sun set in real-time like I did you would probably not see any change but viewing it speed up like this it becomes interesting.

I made this short time-lapse of the three and sky by having a stationary camera taking a single photograph every 30 seconds (using a build in setting on the camera). I left it taking photos until the cell ran up which was about 3 hours after stating. After I have all the 100s of stills I compressed them into a Quick Time movie using Final Cut Pro which made the time lapsing movie you can see here.

Other ideas I have in mind to time-lapse are:

a town center, clouds moving, water movment, ice melting, stop-motion, a plant growing, drawing a image, flower dieing and a sun-rise.
