Comments on: Cherry Blossom Timelapse: Fleeting Floral Fireworks http://regex.info/blog/2008-03-14/763 Not a photo blog, but I sometimes play one on TV Sat, 17 May 2008 08:15:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.12-alpha by: Anders http://regex.info/blog/2008-03-14/763#comment-15552 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 18:18:24 +0000 http://regex.info/blog/2008-03-14/763#comment-15552 You did quite well with that time-lapse for just going to the same place and taking a picture. I have a similar project going, where I have a couple of webcams permanently set up and I grab the image from it every 5 minutes, and upload it to my <a href="http://phot.ogra.ph" rel="nofollow">website</a> every half-hour, allowing me to make <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/787705" rel="nofollow">videos</a> with each frame being the same time every day, in that case 4PM. I have <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33021410@N00/2074276473/in/set-72157603330137132/" rel="nofollow">pictures</a> of my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33021410@N00/2175501629/in/set-72157603330137132/" rel="nofollow">setup</a>, but as you can see from the video, the quality isn't that great, and I am trying to do something a bit different from your setup there. What you could do is mount a 1/4"-20 bolt somewhere and screw your camera into it to have it be in the same place every time you take the picture. That wouldn't be automatic, but does give you a bunch of flexibility. More description on my <a href="http://slashdot.org/~corsec67/journal/198494" rel="nofollow">slashdot journal</a>.

I'd just like to say that the month-long time lapse is really cool! Thanks for putting that up.. It's really pretty over in Japan :) Hi!
