The museum is undertaking a large time-lapse photographic project at Mt Stirling, Victorian for an exhibition opening in September 2009, focusing on change, changing environments, changing landscapes. It will be a fantastic way to see the changing seasons in this amazing environment – winter, spring, summer and autumn.

The camera is programmed to take a frame every 10 seconds; the photographer needs to continually adjust settings to allow for changing light. Images are captured digitally which means that image cards fill up rapidly and constantly need to be changed. In the cold weather batteries don’t last long these also need to be changed every couple of hours.
