Need some advice on stitching photo's together

I live in the Northeast and I am taking one photo each day of the dense woods in our back yard. Currently no leaves are out, but soon the bloom of leaves will fill the woods. This happens quickly and i would like to create a movie like clip from each of the individual shots taken. Any ideas how to do this?

All sorts of ways to do something like this. I use Corel VideoStudio. I just place the pictures in the timeline, rearrange them, add music, and voila!

It sounds like you want to make a time lapse video of the individual shots. What sort of computer do you have, Mac or PC. I am familiar with the Mac and there are many programs that will allow you to assemble the shots and make a video.

There are several apps in the Apple App Store that do time lapse videos. I use Sequence and Intervalo. There are other programs such as LRTimelapse and Panolapse that are more costly but can correct for flickering from exposure variations when shooting towards the sun. LRTimelapse is not an independent program and uses on Lightroom to correct the photos and make the video.

Not sure if you are using windows? If so a free program is available to do just this it is called "PhotoLapse" works great... Just do a google search for it...

You can also use Photoshop to create a movie.

Set up the software to display each frame for whatever length of time you decide, and have the software morph it into the following frame.

True time lapse requires your camera to be on a tripod and not moved. The timed sequence can be managed by the camera or a remote shutter release.

I have used a free app called "makeavi.exe" that allows any number of files to be assembled into an AVI file. You can also adjust the resultant frame rate, but I do find the file size grows larger as I pick a slower frame rate.
So instead of picking a slower frame rate, you can use a free application called "SMPlayer" that allows you to change the frame rate for play back such as 1 or 2 frames per second.
Its not obvious how to change the frame rate, but here is how:
Options/Prefereences/Advanced/Options for Mplayer -- and then you will see a field for options. If you want 1 frame per sec, enter: -fps 1 and press OK

You're welcome, an added benefit of using Photoshop is the ability to auto align layers.
Unless you're planning on leaving your camera untouched for that long :shock: you'll need it! :D
