Glasgow Timelapse

While on holiday I experimented with Magic Lantern - a custom firmware for certain Canon cameras that unlocks a colossal amount of features normally unavailable.

The first night we were away we stayed in a city centre hotel in Glasgow. We were on the 9th floor and I thought it might be interesting to see what happened when we went out to dinner so I installed the new firmware, stuck my extended battery pack on the camera and set it to take a shot every 5 secs. Over 2000 frames taken in about 4.5hrs to produce a couple of minutes of footage.

I'm actually visible on frame 641, briefly, from the back seat of the cab we took to dinner

For me, it really got interesting seeing the gradual changes that took place once it started to get dark.

Definitely clocked you in frame 641.

That's my favourite part too. I'd hoped the rain would have been more interesting but it's just a dull fog really - the lights coming on and cars starting to make trails is where I like it
