The Sofie Theresa is a regular visitor to Galway – one of the ships that keeps the city supplied with fuel. It was quite frosty last night,and I was in the harbour taking a few snaps when I saw the harbour staff preparing for the tanker’s departure. So I set up my camera on a tripod beside the lock-gates to the harbour. The timelapse below was taken with a Canon 5D II and a Canon 24-105mm lens. The settings were f4 at 1/40th of a second, and ISO set to 3200. I took a picture every seven seconds, and then put the images togther as a video using Quicktime (if you view this site via Internet Explorer, the video is embedded below. Firefox doesn’t show it, so click on this link instead).
