This is a link post Time-lapse film of my drive yesterday I made this!
I recently discovered that my little pocket camera can do time-lapse videos, so I've been playing with it. This film is my drive after work (just finished a night shift) to a friend's place.

It's a Canon IXUS 960IS. Only had it a few weeks; still learning what it can do.

This is a normal post Good grief! The price has skyrocketed.
I paid £130 for mine, direct from Amazon UK. I thought it was rather a good deal at the time. I now suspect it might have been a pricing error and that I got lucky.

This is a normal post Yeah, I reckon I was doing about 1,000 MPH on the motorways and dual-carriageways.
But then again, so was everyone else!

In real-time, the drive took around 90 minutes or so. The camera shoots at 1 frame per second, and the final video plays at 15fps.

This is a normal post I keep pestering them to move back.
He and his wife used to live closer to me, but moved to be closer to their jobs. Ah well.

(thank you)

You really haul ass don't you, not just the time lapse you passed every car you approached.

I was careful to obey the speed limit. Everyone else (well, nearly everyone else) was driving quite slowly.

My cunning plan to hypnotise the b3ta readership is off to a good start. Did you notice the subliminal images?

It was an experiment, really. It turned out better than I feared it would.

Did you know you can get a hacked firmware for your camera? I've got a Canon IXUS camera too, and tried it out. Works a treat and you can play around with time lapse (mine doesn't normally do it), slow shutter speeds, even put little games on it

By coincidence, the current issue of PC Pro magazine, which dropped on my doormat yesterday morning, mentions CHDK. As soon as I read the piece I was straight on the CHDK website.
