received a copyright notice regarding this music in this video. I followed the procedure to remove the audio, but it still seems to be present.

That is pretty sweet.. How did you get into the front of the skytrain with a tripod?

[hexstatik]

the skytrain doesn't have a driver (it is remotely controlled), so you can actually sit right up front. I just set up my tripod in the first seat - I think I disappointed a few little boys hoping to get the best seat in the house that day.

=P

So I gather you used tethered shooting to store all of those images while you took them?

[hexstatik]

Yup. I had my Macbook with me. I used the Canon software that came with my camera to control the interval timer and remotely trigger the camera every 5 secs (the shortest interval the software would allow).
