Time Lapse of a New Pond Over 2 Years – Atli Eon Camera

Thanks for watching. Although it looks like the pond was built quickly, it took a full month of solid labor to complete in my spare time. The planning took several months too. I had a small amount of help to move the liner on one day since its too much for one person to handle. I also had a little help moving a few tons of gravel. The rest was all done by me alone with only a shovel, a wheel barrow and my hands. No machines.

I apologize for the low quality video. When I started this a few years ago I only previewed clips on my tiny phone screen and did not realize that the auto-generated time-lapses were such a low bit-rate. There is no option in the camera to adjust it. At least not with the old or current (time of posting) firmware. The camera does better with close-ups or lower detail images. My thoughts on this camera is that it needs feature upgrades. Here is a tip…It would be better to use the picture saving option so you can import the original photos and use a PC to create the video rather than having the camera do it. But when you are dealing with 10s of thousands of photos after a project it can be a lot to work with.

My opinion is that if you are buying a camera that specializes in time-lapses, it should take the hard work out of it and have no need for post processing just to get a better looking video. I don’t feel like this was 2+ years down the drain since this was not really a very interesting subject to shoot anyway. It was more or less just to test the camera and watch the plants grow around my DIY pond.
