"Solstice"
1584 images, captured with my Canon 5D
Assembled in into a .mov with Quicktime Pro, and blended the frames in
FinalCut.
Over the duration of this entire capture, the aperture is fixed and the sensor is exposed progressively longer. The first frame was captured at 1/500th of a sec -- and the last exposure was a full 8 seconds (!!). The technical 'goal' of this project was to capture this enormous dynamic range - and to blend through it seamlessly. The most challenging sequence is from :40 to :55, where the exposure rate of change is extremely steep - and the amount of incoming light drops like a rock.
From a signal processing point of view, it is a challenging dataset.
The entire thing must be tonemaped into a very small range (problem #1) *and* to be perceptually smooth without loosing perceptual detail (problem #2)

Definitely worth the 2% of your 5D's rated shutter life! :) More seriously, the very spot-on exposure as night falls is much better than what you would get out of most anything else. My videos constructed from shots from the Bentall 5 webcam are nothing in comparison...

Nice work. False creek is full of colours and motion, excellent place for photography. You timed it right with the tides too...the up/down of the marina doesn't distract.
