People you, me and we know are at Fenway AS WE SPEAK enjoying the remnants of a massive 1-0* offensive explosion. I am not one of those people, and odds are good that neither are you. So for us, the little people, those who fall outside the Red Sox ticket holders circle of trust, here’s some cool time-lapse footage of Fenway from Tom Guilmette.

A bit from Tom about his technique.
I set the camera to 1080p 30p and ran the interval recording at 1 frame per ten seconds of time elapsed. These settings turned a 7 hour 15 minute event into a 1 minute and 27 second time lapse. The pan head moved about 160 degrees, left to right.
I ran the camera in auto iris, auto white balance and manual focus. I am still having trouble setting the wide angle 18mm lens to infinity. You will notice that this video is slightly out of focus. I think it is because I am using a cheap lens. You will notice the white balance changes as day turned to night.
*I have Toronto in my office’s 13-run MLB pool, and I can definitively say that this is their first shutout of the season, giving me a desperately need zero cell. Thanks!
