Time Lapse Videos


These videos were created from single frames taken with a Raspberry Pi model B+ and 5MP camera board. Raspistill was used to capture the frames and avconv was used to turn the frames into a video. Recently I have been using RPi-Cam-Web-Interface to record the frames. This web based app makes it easy to adjust the camera settings and timing.

These videos were taken facing south through the trapezoid window in our addition. The window has a medium weight sun filter applied to it.

These videos were taken in the Summerland - Santa Barbara area of California in Jan to Mar of 2016.

I am now using RPi-Cam-Web-Interface to control the camera and record the frames. It is a very nice package.
