Default C5 time lapse with GoPro

One of the interesting things you can do with a GoPro is time lapse photography. Sitting at my son's soccer practice yesterday I noticed some cloud activity which we normally don't get much of. The 'vette was clean so why not try it. 459 images taken 1 every 5 seconds. Forgive the compression due to size reduction and uploading. Looks great in full HD.

Very cool! I just shot my first video with my new GoPro Hero HD, but haven't played with the timelapse feature yet. Going to try it soon though!

It is fun to play with, and next time i'm mounting it on an egg timer so there will be rotation as well. Gonna put it on a tripod in the middle of our Cars and Coffee event and have it do a 360 degree sweep of the lot.

You can get the HD Motorsports kit for around $230 on "the auction site". Got mine for $227 delivered last weekend. I have yet to play with the time lapse or still picture modes though.

I've got to get some new footage this weekend, might try the time lapse out too.
