For my first experiments, I chose the island of <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Herm\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Herm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Herm<\/a> in the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Channel Islands\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Channel_Islands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Channel Islands<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I downloaded an application called Webcam Time Lapse and installed it on my Mac Pro. This application takes still images from internet webcams and makes them into a time-lapse video. My first attempt was this one &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Herm Harbour time lapse\" width=\"695\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YmvnS85f2BQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is a time-lapse video showing 24 hours of Herm harbour compiled using still images from the official Herm website webcam (<a title=\"Herm Island website\" href=\"www.herm.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.herm.com<\/a>). The video was produced using the Webcam Time Lapse application and edited using <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"IMovie\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/apps\/imovie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">iMovie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When I visited Herm during June 2013, I decided to make my own time-lapse using photographs I had taken myself. I placed my Sony a77 camera on a tripod and positioned it on the balcony of my hotel room. I pointed the camera over the water towards Guernsey to a place where the sun was setting.<\/p>\n<p>Using an application called <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Triggertrap\" href=\"http:\/\/triggertrap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">Triggertrap<\/a>, and a dongle which you can buy for the application, i connected my <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"iPhone\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">iPhone<\/a> to my camera and set the application up to take images at five second intervals over the course of thirty minutes. This is the result &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Herm Sunset\" width=\"695\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/49f6phX-Kgc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The 360 images taken were made into a slideshow using the excellent Aperture software running on my Mac Pro.
