This new years eve, we decided to venture out downtown and capture a long exposure time lapse. Shorter then we expected, we put together a glimpse of our night in West Palm Beach. Armed with LED glowsticks and flashlights, we managed to capture a few cool light paintings. Interestingly enough, we captured the attention of two on-lookers who joined in the light painting fun (shouts out to you Nick & Natasha!) From everyone at the Pixil team, we wish you all a very happy New Year!
Pixil is embedded in the Downtown West Palm Beach community and just a couple of hours ago marked the close to another fabulous Marathon, which means we have an awesome photo recap for you.
The 2011 Palm Beach Marathon sponsored by Publix saw mild 77 degree weather and cloudy skies with rather gusty but refreshing winds out the East/Northeast. The appeal of flat and beautiful views along the Intracoastal waterway brought runners from all over the world to participate in the Marathon of the Palm Beaches. Even congressman Allen West entered and finished the 13.1 mile Half Marathon.
Running groups like Palm Beach Road Runners and clubs like Running Sports of Juno Beach, FL members represented some of the fastest half marathon times, finishing well under the 2 hour mark.
A Pixil photographer set off, bright and early this morning, to capture the excitement and the emotions of the diverse field of runners ranging from handicapped participants to Ironmen, and enthusiasts from 12 to 60+ years of age.

This is a long exposure time lapse shot with the Canon 7D. This test was filmed on the beach at night. Using 15-75mm f3.5-56 lens with a shutter speed of 4 seconds and a time interval of 4 seconds. We used the Time lapse remote: JJC-TM-A series remote. Utilizing LED glow stick lights, we were able to capture some amazing light paintings. With a shooting time of two and half hours, we managed to capture our entire photo session, light paintings and a few airplanes taking off. For future lapses, we’re hoping to get better results by keeping the time interval at 1 second.
PS: Notice how the moon and clouds slowly move overtime!
Below are the photos taken while we ran our time lapse. Using 20mm and 10mm fisheye lenses, we captured amazing photos of mist like fog evaporating against the corral like rocks. Enjoy!
