timelapse setup

This is my Canon SD870is point and shoot taking this timelapse.

 

The camera runs CHDK which provides a scripting language. A script is running to shoot a frame every 1.5 seconds which I later assemble into a timelapse in HD.

 

Since the camera has no viewfinder the LCD doesn't turn off, draining battery life. You can see the workaround here, a old headphone cord plugged into the video-out port to turn off the lcd.

 

The camera sits on my trusty 15 year old Ultrapod II, strapped onto a handy root so I could be close to the water.
