After my successful experiment with time-lapse photography the other day and the extended battery pack I built last night, I decided to test out shooting a time-lapse from my office window. Thus, I produced the above time-lapse. Not the most interesting scene in the world but it’s a start. I set my camera to take a photo ever 15 seconds for about 150 frames. Using the Canon RemoteCapture software installed on a Windows XP Virtual Machine, I drove the intervalometer at that faster speed. Next time I think I will reduce the resolution of the images so it doesn’t take up so much space on my hard drive before I process them into a video.
So… what should I do a time-lapse of next? My Roomba frolicking in my apartment? Meal time at the fraternity? Clouds rolling through campus? Traffic outside my apartment? My office-mates working in the lab?
