I brought my EX1 with the Letus and my motorized telescope pan head to Fenway to shoot my second time lapse. Here are a few pictures to show you my set up.

My last time lapse, “One Day at Fenway” was shot from the left field seats. This time, I set up on the right field line and shot towards the west. This time lapse includes a great sunset.

The camera started to the right and slowly panned to the diamond on the left. I was surprised that the heavy vibration on the roof did not effect the quality of the panning time lapse. You can see that early in the day, some of the Red Sox players were hanging out in right field. This time lapse spanned about 6.5 hours from 4 pm to 10:30 pm.

I taped the focus and the exposure to avoid any slippage due to the vibration.  I made sure I turned on the motor for the ground glass before I left the camera.

This is a tight shot of the motorized telescope head. The model is the Celestron 114 GT telescope. It has a key pad that I can use to program the pan speed and it runs on eight AA batteries.

This shot gives you an idea of the type of camera platform I had set up in. It is a bunch of steel that sticks out over the crowd. There was a lot of vibration and I made sure I tied the camera down just in case it fell over. I did not want the entire rig to fall on the baseball fans below.

If you have any questions about this set up, please feel free to email me. I plan on doing a few more of these time lapses at Fenway Park so keep an eye on my website.
