Another Time Lapse Video

I’m a tad behind on writing stories for the site, but the time-lapse stuff has been a fun diversion from daily chores and project wrangling. This weekend I retired the Brinno camera I’d setup at the start of the summer, and a new, snazzier TL option will make its debut soon. The Brinno had a tendency to create avi files with dropped frames, which meant having to convert them using VLC before building things out for publishing. The new unit automates movie creation, doesn’t require frequent battery swaps, and has a huge angle of view.

Thanks to a a skillful and crafty use of some plastic, the new unit also shouldn’t suffer from birds sitting on it and fuzzing up the lenses with their poop–unlike in this video showing this summer in super-quick time lapse.
