I spent a while planning this out and it seems to be working. Critiques welcome!!

Basically 1 Nikon camera tethered to a computer, updating a scene of downtown houston every 15 minutes all day, every day.

Here's the link;

-----------------------------------
Problems I am experiencing;
I am shooting through a thick glass, so there is a bit of ghosting in specific areas.

The camera auto settings are causing white balance issues and bleaching / too much darkening over the course of a day.

due to my batch processing, i have to delete the photo before reposting the new one. a 2 second delay between picture posts can be noticed if you hit refresh at the right time.


-----------------------------------
Benefits of this format;
In my opinion it seems to be better than normal webcam updates. With unlimited bandwidth you can technically post a 20 megapixel image of ____ at intervals on the fly.

So what do you do with it? How is this any different than your basic web camera? The web cameras probably shoot at a faster frame rate.

I guess now we need a video section here, hey?

Can you make the picture look any better? It's kind of .......blue.........hazy...............indistinct.
