Re: Time Lapse Equipment Question

Probably should have posted this last night...

I put in an order for a camera yesterday afternoon, but am still taking ideas for software. (If you want to know what type of camera, PM me.)

CDHK: Biggest problem is that you have to have the right type of camera (as in, one that there is a CDHK for). I don't have that type available. Second biggest problem is the card size--IIRC, it doesn't work too well with cards over 4GB, which could leave me short timewise.

The other tricky part with webcams, which I didn't realize before (hadn't seen the location yet), was that mounting them would be a non-trivial exercise. In this case, that's true for any camera--but when you need connection to a computer, and the best place for a computer is something like 25 feet away, that can really limit your options.
