This is a short test of a sunrise. I've not really done too much with direct sun for fear of burning the sensors on my cameras. From a technical standpoint it ordinary. It was shot using HV20 photo mode and an IR intervalometer set to a 3 second interval. It could have been done with a 60 minute tape and Vegas, I guess. However with the intervalometer I could easily have gone another 4-6 hour with a 8GB SDHC card. The OTHER nice thing about the HV20 for time lapse is that has a built in UPS of sorts. If you have a fully charged battery, you can get about 2+ hours of stills. It will also run off mains, and you can turn on / off the mains without rebooting the cameras - as is necessary with many still cameras, if you can run them off mains at all. So its great if you want to get a series of a storm where the power is flaky. It will just cut over to the battery withouth complains or disturning the series....
