So I've turned into a time lapse junkie. I've always loved t/l, especially of plants growing, but until recently it's been expensive to produce decent footage. I mean, you have to leave a camera in a field or the woods for some period of time, taking it out of production and risking it being stolen. Recently, though, I was lucky enough to meet Roger P. Hangarter, a botanist at Indiana University, and an expert and artist of the time-lapse medium. He's a scientist... and an artist! He told me to give PlantCam a try. It's cheap and produces an HD-ish image. It's early days yet and I'm still learning how to best deploy the cameras, but here is an early effort that isn't too dumb. This is about 5 days worth of images compressed into 50 seconds. Warts and all.
