Melting Ice HD

First attempt in time-lapse photography. I guess I didn't want to do any research today.
Parts of the shots became out of focus and jittery when I walked near it to check the progress. Creating the video and composing a loop was easy enough on the Mac. But there was quite a moray effect as well as some color and resolution issues to address.

My very first attempt in time-lapse photography. 628 shots (1/30 shutter, f/4.5, 300mm, intervals @ 1 shot/5 seconds) for 52 minutes using a Nikon D60 tethered to my laptop.

Part of the shots became out of focus and jittery as the ice cube melted, and as I walked near it to check the progress. My camera was on a tripod, and apparently it was pretty sensitive to the vibrations from my footsteps. Creating the video and composing a loop was easy enough on the Mac. But there was quite a moray effect as well as some color and resolution issues to address.
