Default [WR] Otter Valley, Devon - Dazzling sunshine & hail showers +time-lapse video

Excellent visibility and striking cloud-scapes made for a lovely, if a
little cold at times (though maximum did reach 9.3C) day.

A few very brief but intense hail showers and lots of dazzlingly clear
blue sky and strong sunshine in-between.

After seeing Alan's rather superb time-lapse videos I thought I would
have a go but my webcam doesn't quite have the quality of a 'Go Pro'
camera, especially as it looks through the double-glazing of one of the
rear-facing bedrooms. And my resolution was set to a rather lowly
1280x720. Anyway, I've uploaded a time-lapse video of the whole daylight
hours with a rate of 1 photo per second and a film speed of 60 frames
per second. Hence 1 second = 1 minute of real time.

The video is 7 minutes long and composed of 30,000 photos. I'll do
another tomorrow at HD 1920x1080 resolution.
