Evening in Hataitai

S and I have been house-sitting for a friend in Hataitai for the month of March. Torture, as you can imagine, having to babysit a view like this (and one very very independent cat) every evening:

This is a timelapse looking over Evans Bay towards Miramar and Wellington Aiport. The lens kept adjusting for the lowering light in bursts which is why the timelapse looks like it’s almost flickering. I was surprised by the amount of activity on the water while playing it back. And if you look really closely you can see the odd plane heading in to land at the airport as well.

Beats staring at the side of another building in town…

That’s great.

You should post some details about how you did that. It would be great for others to be able to reply with their own views.

That’s cool. Especially spotting the planes and seeing the kayaks. What did you use to do that?

Thanks for the comments guys. I used the camera/iSight in my MacBook, recording with iMovie.

Ingrid: I’ll assume that was rhetorical ;)
