Construction downtown (or at least where I live) seems to be booming.  I live on the 11th floor of the university lofts and from my window I can see 2 construction sites.  One on the southeast corner of Piedmont and Edgewood, and the other on the opposite corner.  I find it very interesting to watch the construction and keep track of it's progress.  Because I am so high up, I can easily see over the barriers and have quite a pleasant view of both sites.

I have also taken up the hobby of recording time-lapse photography.  I have an Apple iSight camera that has a magnetic stand, so I can attach it to just about anything metal without having to use a tripod.  I am able to position the camera in such a way that I can view either construction site in its entirety.  I have experimented with different frame rates and playback settings, and here is what I have so far.

This video was recorded October 29th at 15 frames per second for around 9 hours.

Once the building actually begins I plan to record quite a bit more of the site.  It boring to watch bulldozers push dirt around all day, which is what they seem to be doing at the moment.

This all started with me using my laptop to record time lapse videos of me driving.  This video was recorded while I was driving to work when I lived in Florida.
