As I’ve got a Raspberry Pi and a PiCamera, I wanted to try out some experiments with it.
Following the general tutorial:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/camera/raspicam/timelapse.md
I tried a couple of timelapse experiments and uploaded them to youtube. The first was just to see how the raspistill and avconv tools worked, the second to see what the camera could see during nighttime (not much it seems!).
