This Time Lapse Video is made using a small digital compact camera. To be more specific a Canon Powershot A620 camera was used in order to make multiple shots. The camera was set to capture one photograph, every 30 seconds. In order to achieve that a special firmware was loaded to the camera. You can find more information about this firmware here. Among other things, the CHDK firmware allows scripting of the camera. There are many scripts out there, making those simple and cheap cameras, capable of doing things, you can not imagine. I used a script in order to make my camera, take a shoot every 30 sec. Below you can see, the code of the script in order to use it with your camera. So, this video, consists of 240 photos at a resolution of 5MP taken on top of mount Taygetos at 2407 meters. The photos were then transformed to video, using a simple program named Movie Salsa.
