This is about as far opposite of a summer video as you can get. Yesterday my 8yr old daughter jumped in the Polar Plunge with my uncle and I. We had a good time.
The weather sucked again today, so sitting in the house bored out of my mind I dug up an old time lapse set of pictures that I had sitting around for a couple of years and threw them together. I had our GoPro set to take a picture every 2 seconds, it ended up with several hundred pictures to make this video. I don't really care for GoPro studio, but it does a good job putting time lapse pictures into a decent movie. My $70 Corel video program just couldn't put them together as well as the GoPro studio.
Anyways, if you ever wondered what the Ohio River around Cincinnati looks like, here's your chance to go for a ride. The video ends in downtown Cincy.
And you might remember this video of my wife bringing the boat right to me in the water. She is really getting good at doing that, and I appreciate not having to swim for 100 yards to get back to the boat. Here's a clip of her spinning the boat to us like a boss at Lake Cumberland last summer.
Hurry up summer!! I have cabin fever something fierce!
@Volffas , love the second video. I don't take continuous pics and string them together to make time lapse videos. I take continuos videos and speed them up 50% to 32 x instead. A little off subject but other than consering space on the memory card, what are the benefits of doing it your way and what do you think is the comparable accelerated rate? I'm not trying to start a debate, just trying to make better videos.

Saving space on the card is the only thing that I can think of. We took a trip to Florida last year and I was able to use 2 SD cards to get pictures set 5 seconds apart of the whole trip down (14 hours). I would have only been able to get about 6 hours of video.
@rickd01 Thanks for the complement. They are somewhat of a hobby for me, always trying to make the next one better than the last! Still have a lot to learn.
