I thought as much :D
I'm hoping to commandeer my girlfriends old HTC Wildfire to mount in the car in a reasonable position. I'm thinking a photo per minute. I'd love to do every 10 seconds or something to create something a bit smoother but I think that would be a bit ridiculous to sort afterwards.
I did one per 10 seconds and it's waaaay too slow.
Ideally I'd just take a video of the drive and then speed it up, the gaps (especially at 60-70-80mph) are just too big other wise.
Hmm. I might reduce the resolution of the photos so they're just above 1920 wide. 10 seconds too slow, going to need a big memory card :S
Definitely something I need to test out beforehand.
Definitely need to do a test. Already got a phone tripod mount, going to get a camera windscreen mount to get them all together.
If that's shit I might try and pick up a cheap 2nd hand Canon point and shoot for the job.
That shit makes it really god damned hard to clean windows :@

One thing I read is that for smooth motion you should aim to have a shutter speed of half the time between frames. So, if you're shooting at 24 frames per second you use 1/48th (1/50th is close enough) shutter, and if you're shooting 1 frame per minute, you use a 30 second shutter speed. It results in nice motion blur without things looking too smeared.
Obviously 720 exposures of 30 seconds (for 12 hours of real time) is gonna be pretty hard on the camera battery.
Yeah, I've been looking into the best way to make things as smooth as possible whilst not over/under exposing.
I've bought an AC adapter for my Ixus. Been looking for one for my K200D that is a reasonable price, not managed to yet.
I can get quite a lot. Bought some Uniross Hybrios a bit back that are bloody great. Fairly certain I managed over 4000 frames on a single set. (Just shooting JPEG)
Having an AC adapter isn't going to be too much use outside the house anyway!
