Setup of single frame timelapse

Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to create a single frame time lapse with a DSLR camera. The camera will be controlled by a Raspberry Pi, which will not only control the shutter but also things like camera iso, exposure etc. with some simple image processing.

Here's a (bad) photo of the setup taken with my camera phone

In the process of setting up the system, I took a photo of my hand while I was using the laptop, and I quite liked it.

The quality isn't great after colour correction, and that's because I (think) the image processing library doesn't support raw format. If i'm mistaken then the new capture could be download from the camera, then calculate the new camera settings, upload the new settings to the camera and finally take another photo which would be left on the camera -- or something along these lines.

It's snowing! It's about time I used my DSLR and upload some photos that were on the sd card. Here are the results.

A random assortment of controllers -- It's just a random placement on controllers with good natural lighting.

Winter grass -- The first thing I saw this morning was my back garden. There wasn't a lot of snow unfortunately, but the cold and the little snow there was helped separate the blades of grass and point out the distinctiveness of each blade.

Rustic garden -- I woke up today and knew it was supposed to snow this morning. Unfortunately it wasn't the blizzard I was hoping for, but at least the back garden had a nice rustic winter feel to it.

Snow is falling -- It did start snowing again while I was writing this blog, and so I rushed out and tried to capture the snow in focus as it was falling. I took a lot of photos, but nothing was in focus in most of them. I ended up choosing this photos where at least the grass was in focus and a bit of the snow as it was falling.
