Anybody have any comments? This is at Egerton St. and the CN tracks for a duration of about 2 hours in the evening.

AWESOME!

You don't realize how many freight trains come through London until you see this.

Someone should do this downtown on Richmond.

I will certainly think about doing Richmond. The problem there will be there are more pedestrians, and they may feel violated to see they are being recorded.

maybe try setting up at the Waterloo st crossing? still busy but less pedestrian traffic

Wonder how A-News does it then

I also may want to do Adelaide. Lots of cars, and plenty of trains switch in and out of the yard. Which you may not get at Waterloo or Richmond. But I won't be doing that until next summer, because it's getting too cold now to comfortably wait for 2 or 3 hours while the camera records.

That was really cool. I'd like to see a timelapse of downtown from the Adelaide Street bridge.

I would prefer to get a better camera before doing a time lapse of downtown. Just because the night quality on this camera isn't great, and you would want to see all the lights in every building of downtown...

How is this done anyways? Do you take a photo every 30 seconds or something and use some sort of software to stitch them together as a filmstrip?

I actually took a video and sped it up. However I think a lot of people do separate photos and stitch them together for a time lapse.
