The biggest problem about shooting time lapses is that whenever you think you've had enough frames you are about 50% correct. I wish I had stayed and snapped for a bit longer but as on every Friday evening London Bridge fills up with lunatics, drunks and dodgy types who discuss robbing you in their foreign language expecting that you don't understand them. For this video I used still image sequences shot on Canon 5D Mark II. I used Canon 75-300 f/4.0-5.6 lens which I certainly don't recommend but I my case it did the job. My friend Pawel lent me his fancy programmable remote to execute continuous shutter without vibrations but since then I acquired my simple shutter release remote and I love it. I have a 16 GB CompactFlash card. It's a SanDisk Extreme III 30MB/s - slower cards might lag. The wonderful sounds were created by Cliff Martinez.

Which lens would you recommend and how did you achieve the tilt-shift look? Was it just done in post with lens blur and a mask and some saturation and curve control?
