Summer Evening Storm
This video is made from 1382 full-resolution (3000x2000) photos made this evening.
The Nikon D40 can shoot 2.5 shots per second and some 1500 photos fit in a 4 Gb memory card, so it's easy to stuff your hard disk. Taking all the frames and compressing them at full resolution using h.264 at 32678 Mbit/s is the best way to store them.
In this particular case, the 1382 photos occupied 2.7 Gb, whereas the compressed video is a mere 84 Mb. The image quality of each individual frame is very good.
