Post critiques - 1 photo every 15 minutes every day - houston skyline

I spent a while planning this out and it seems to be working.
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;
Spectacular Panoramic Views of Houston Skyline - Custom Minds Photography

-----------------------------------
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.

That's quite a project, but what a cool idea - it'll be great to fast-forward the scenes when you have them all at the end of the year. Awesome, love it!

thanks sox..

actually storing old photos is something it is currently not doing. once the photo is gone, its gone.

i should definitely work on that today.

If you wouldnt mind posting here on DPS it would be greatly appreciated. You'll see a better response if folks dont have to venture on over to another web site.
I hope you didnt mind, but I removed your request for critique. This thread is for showing off your favorite photos.
You may want to check out the critique section if thats what you are looking for!

Awesome shots. I like the way you can see right in to the windows, with clarity of the high rises!
