I captured about 30GB worth of time-lapsed images using the Nintendo DS and Canon DSLR over a week in Vancouver (only because the DS made it so easy). Much of it was bracketed sunrises and sunsets, but I’m not sure yet how to process those efficiently. Here is a quickie non-hdr taken at 30 – sec intervals. I can’t help but hear the King of The Hill theme when I see these played.

Switching these over to Vimeo because YouTube apparently stinks. But I gather that you need to play the Vimeo videos twice before they play at the correct frame rate.
