Very cool Mel, can't wait to try one of these with convection cloud or a storm rolling through! How many frames to make this? How did you do it?

Chuck, yup its a time lapse.

Chris, put the camera on a tripod and fired every couple of seconds (sometimes I waited about 30 seconds) using remote. Had to adjust the exposure settings quote often (thus why it gets more sun but gets darker at times). Frames? 50 :)

I couldn't get a gif animator working at the time (have done now and it works a treat as a GIF too) so I threw it all into windows movie maker, shortened each frame to end at 2 second intervals and used the fade transition

If you have saved it to youtube, Im not going to see it because its blocked here at work. So how long did it take you process it? I have a sequence of over 700 images at home I did at the end of last summer (out a dirty window). I set the camera to take one photo every 10 seconds and let it go for over an hour. But when it came time to process it, it was going to take forever, so I canned the processing. I figured that at 30fps it would give me over 20secs of video, so I'll check this out when I get home and I'll probably be inspired to finish mine. I think I downloaded time lapse software, so maybe its the software being slow.

Dazza, the most time consuming part of using Windows Movie Maker is inserting the transition between each frame and shortening the frames.

The Gif is too big for me to upload to the forum :(
