A Day at the Races

This is a view out the back bedroom's window. It shows a little more than 12 hours of the ash tree in the back yard with the clouds whizzing by. The day before I shot this there were scattered, fluffy clouds out there. Here we get to see pretty much constant cloud cover.

I shot four frames each minute and play them back at 24 frames per second. That works out to having six minutes compressed to each second of the video. Near the beginning, three birds appear in the tree and just sit there for two or three seconds (12 to 18 minutes in real time). Later, a bug lands on the window and walks out of the scene. That takes a few seconds of the video.

It probably would have been better to have less of the tree and more of the sky in the scene. But we get some good cloud action.
