Hi, my name is Andrew,
And normally I do not post in forums, as I can glean the answers I need
But, I would like to introduce myself and my situation:
I am driving from Alaska Anchorage all the way down to Utah, and back across over to California,
I've estimated around 70 hrs total for the trip:
Anchorage, AK - Google Maps.
I planned on doing a timelapse of the whole thing, and I've brought about three external drives, and my laptop along with me,
as well as an intervalometer (because I hate to be limited to 999 shots),
A windshield mount for the camera (no movement, Hopefully),
And a 128GB card. I planned on shooting JPG (duh!), and I am unsure if I should do 10MP or lower,
I have calculated 10MP for a 128GB card would use it up in about 21008 shots for each load,
And my interval calculation was set at: 25fps, 70hr time, 30min clip length, equaling 5.60 secs per shot,
I'm unsure if this is a bit much to assume, or if I'm going overboard; the calculator told me it would be about 45,000 shots total, for the 70hr time;
I'm assuming though, that I will not use the full 70 hrs, but I'm unsure,
And that is part of what I wanted to ask: Do people even timelapse driving at night? I mean, it's probably not worth it?
I realize part of that is my call, but I'm curious as to what some of you might have to say about this;
One thing that does bother me though, is that I may not be able to use my camera at all during this major trip,
which kind of sucks, ... but, Oh well.
I planned on visiting Yellowstone on the way and everything, haha.
