One pic, every 15 seconds for 1200+ miles...
When I moved from Puyallup, WA to Enterprise, AL, I set up my point-n-shoot to take a photo every 15 seconds. What you'll see below is video from linking the images together, one ever .125 of a second.

I have days 1 and 2 done. PROBLEM though...Days 3-5 are gone. For now, anyway, as the laptop in which they were contained crashed; BSOD. I hope to be able someday to retrieve the data.

For now - enjoy!

As it indicates in vid 1, it's a Canon S2IS. I hacked the firmware, however, to allow the intervalometer to shoot continuously. I'd estimate having gone thru 8-10 4-packs of AA bats.

Got my best ever - 21.5 for one leg of the trip! :D Thru the western states, though, I had the CC about 80 for hundreds of miles straight!

Thanks, all. If I can get the other data, I'll try to string-together the entire 3000+ mile journey.

Incredible video! It was crazy to actually see how much the landscape changes.

Next time add subliminal messaging to the photos sequences to have us all PayPal you $5.00 each after watching the video.
