DIY timelapse photo setup

From the MAKE Flickr photo pool

Ken built a timelapse photography setup with a rooftop view –

I’m embarking on a very long timelapse movie project, and trying to do it on the cheap, so I put this rig together. I’m using a modified outdoor electrical box as an enclosure and a cheap old compact digital camera, remote controlled by gphoto running on linux. This is a flickr site shwoing the process, along with my first movie.

fyi – Ken’s using a his powershot A520 – Timelapse rig on Flickr
