So I just filmed the traffic time-lapse that I wanted to film, but surprise, surprise the location suggestions I was going to use went completely out the window. Instead I chose to film a bit nearer and recorded it at the bridge located on Bounds Green Road near the Bounds Green station - which to my advantage, was convenient as its just a drive away.
I managed to stay for at least half an hour before I went. At first I had some trouble finding the right angle to film at, because the bridge had bars on it I had to try and fit the traffic in the frame without including the bars in the sequence. When I did that I realised that I still did not have the perfect view I wanted, the tripod was tilted downwards yet only the middle of the road was predominantly shown with the cars coming from the right side only. After 5-10 mins I realised something was wrong, the tripod had to be stretched completely outwards so that the screen displayed the WHOLE road in the frame without showing the bars.
It is then that I realised I could do with a bit more practice and experience when it comes to angling the camera correctly and positioning the tripod appropriately as well; bearing in mind I have only just started using this tripod today. But nevertheless I finally managed to include all of the road in the frame if not most of it and I am quite pleased with the result.
This is my edited version of a section the time-lapse.
