Time lapse video of a Cloudy Night Sky. This is the first time I tried time lapse photography. I was inspired to try it out after watching videos by Philip Bloom. I used a Canon EOS 20D and an
Opteka Timer Remote Control for Canon EOS then I imported the images to Adobe AfterEffects CS4 as an image sequence. Afterwards, I added the titles, watermark, and fades.

Here’s a complete equipment list (for those who asked):
Camera: Canon EOS 20D
Lens: Tamron AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II LD SP ZL Aspherical (IF) Zoom Lens
Tripod: Proline Tripod and Ball Head
Intervalometer: Opteka Timer Remote Control for Canon EOS
Software: Adobe After Effects CS4
