Definitely need to do a test. Already got a phone tripod mount, going to get a camera windscreen mount to get them all together.

If that's shit I might try and pick up a cheap 2nd hand Canon point and shoot for the job.

Well I bought one and just made a quick time lapse with it. Need to sort out camera settings so it stays with the same manual settings. But it was the camera on my homemade kitchen timer rotating unit attach to a window mount on the outside of my window.... ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

cool. I think you have to have Sigur Ros soundtracking it to call it a timelapse though. It's the rules.

Some more test. All 1080p. A night/day test with my Canon Ixus 220 HS running CHDK... And some clouds testing my window mount and my Pentax K200D... ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

One thing I read is that for smooth motion you should aim to have a shutter speed of half the time between frames. So, if you're shooting at 24 frames per second you use 1/48th (1/50th is close enough) shutter, and if you're shooting 1 frame per minute, you use a 30 second shutter speed. It results in nice motion blur without things looking too smeared.

Obviously 720 exposures of 30 seconds (for 12 hours of real time) is gonna be pretty hard on the camera battery.

Yeah, I've been looking into the best way to make things as smooth as possible whilst not over/under exposing.

I've bought an AC adapter for my Ixus. Been looking for one for my K200D that is a reasonable price, not managed to yet.

Might be worth seeing how many long exposure frames you can get out of the K200D battery. Plus, there's nothing stopping you from splitting the shooting – it doesn't have to be a single 1-minute-long take in the final video, you could shoot at different angles or whatever.

I can get quite a lot. Bought some Uniross Hybrios a bit back that are bloody great. Fairly certain I managed over 4000 frames on a single set. (Just shooting JPEG)

Having an AC adapter isn't going to be too much use outside the house anyway!

Well, short exposures don't eat a lot of battery; I'd be surprised if you that many 30-second frames.

Oh, definitely not for 30 seconds frames, that would be a killer! ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

Wow!

The first one shows me that it is really dreary there! There was one time there when the sun really came out!

The second is amazing. It looks like the clouds just form from thin air. I'm sure they do I guess, but I never really thought about it.

Good stuff Ant!
