    Playing about with my new GoPro and just uploaded a timelapse of my commute from Bonnyrigg to Crewe Toll around sunrise a week or so past Monday, no agenda / bad driving to show, but may be of interest / entertainment value on here.

    Nice film - perfect frame rate. Love how the sky lightens, also you come past our house at a time when I'm doubtless shuffling about in my baffies.

    Thanks, GoPro seems to do something cleverer wrt timelapse than simply take a photo every x seconds, feels smoother than other cameras I've had in the past. Quite cool

    Nice video. Like the cars zooming in and out.

    Nice video. I'm glad that isn't my commute.

    I haven't had a place for my camera since I fitted my bar bag but might try and put it on later for my second trip to the timber merchant through the falling snow.

    @Frenchy - i removed it and had it in my mouth to allow me to get my work badge out of my pocket to get into the car park. Usually while crossing CT roundabout at the same time. Quite the manoeuvre at times..

    @jdanielp - honestly isn't as bad as it looks, as of this week have moved to the Gyle, so almost an historic video

    Makes you look like you are undertaking motorised vehicles at speed rather than filtering. Nice.

    Good video. Liked the sky getting lighter and the change in pace each time you stopped at lights etc.

    Do you do that every day? Looks pretty busy.

    Makes my commute from Blackhall to the Shore look puny. Good work!

    Yes, I did that commute once (ironically taking my car out to Midlothian council in Bonnyrigg for MOT test)

    The roads aren't too scary at "rush" hour as the traffic is very slow moving. The fumes, however, were terrible. I think I got a year's worth of toxic fumes in the space of a day.
