Wow! This time lapse proved to be a lot more interesting than Martin thought it would!

shoot started at 8:16 AM, finished at 10:44 AM

We are looking southeast and you can see the lower cloud deck is moving toward us and the upper one away from us! 

The shoot started at 8:16 AM, finished at 10:44 AM and a frame was shot every 10 seconds. I had OSnap! Pro render it at 15 frames per second so the motion wasn’t too fast. Let’s see, 10 seconds/frame into 1/15 seconds/frame is a speed up of 150 times.

Here’s the ground level wind speed and direction from the weather station. The wind speed was a pretty steady 5-10 mph, changing from northeast to due south. So the lower cloud deck was moving in about the same direction.

An experimental 480p version for extremely low bandwidth connections.
