Go Pro HD Time Lapse April weather London England

Thought I would try out the time lapse photography feature on my Go Pro camera and photo the changeable weather confitions of England in April. You can see that at the beginning of the video there is slete (rain and snow) and later on there is brilliant sunshine.
You can also see we have a regular double decker bus service!

@tenrazo215 No prob. One other thing, if you google for "gopro forum" there is a huge resource of info in that community. :)

@tenrazo215 Not sure on the firmware, you should look on their website. Also use the camera to format your card before doing the above. Make sure you have saved everything off first though. If you still get the problem try another card. :/

@tenrazo215 Do you have the latest firmware applied to your GoPro and what make of card do you have? I recommend official Kingston class 6 cards. I did have a Transcend class 6 but I had strange problems like yours. There was a big thing about card compatability. It's annoying.

@roshonjones LCD screen is well worth it! I managed to order it before I got the email from GoPro telling people it was out, as I was checking back every day almost for months!

[roshonjones]

Respond to this video...  It costs about $80 US (the viewfinder)

[roshonjones]

@eladbari buy the add on viewfinder. I got it and it helps tremendously to know what's going on inside your camera

OK, at 1:02, the cat going out and then running back when its owners arrive is so good! Nice job.

@tonyppe thanx for explaining, Tony. :] Yes, I didnt get the camera yet, so im asking. But Im just saying its a bit tough to experiment or figure out what everything does on the spot, cause of the lack of a preview\LCD screen. You only realize things when you work on the footage on your computer, and do some post work [like the timelapse]. sometimes it is hard to remember what youve done in each shot, and relate that to a certain final footage result. so the learning curve might be a bit harder

[tonyppe]

@eladbari You should read what both modes do to understand them. One mode adjusts contrast for the centre of the frame. the other for the average of the whole frame or something. so, one is better for seeing outside through a window or similar, and the other is for all outside or insdie. You should understand the modes to determine what is best, or simply use trial and error. :)

@tonyppe oh..and btw...did u use Spot metering? or that other mode? [forgot its name]. ive heard choosing between these two modes is quite crucial for certain situations like in Timlapsing...

i dont know the difference between them and what the really do, though..
