As folks are looking at #timelapse photography as a means to document environmental problems like water contamination, I've heard people ask what's the best way to store these images (or often videos)
We'll be testing a hunting camera at LEAFFEST 2016 and will post our video to YouTube for starters. But are there chain of custody steps we should take?
I've seen people using #method82 -- a timelapse-based Smoke School derived EPA monitoring technique (#smoke-school) for monitoring smokestacks -- and uploading their videos to YouTube, but @gretchengehrke -- is that actually part of the method, or just, I'd guess, on the side?
Update: Mark Doerrier posted this video of smokestack monitoring, which is actually real-time, not timelapse, but I'm interested in the notes he's shared on data handling for Method 82, a form of EPA approved air quality photo monitoring which uses a digital camera:
What about, as @tonyc explored, we photo a GPS unit when we start it up? What if we use a "proof of existence" app like CameraV to video the start and end of the timelapse run, pointing it at the same GPS/clock as the timelapse camera is, so the authenticated CameraV video stands as a "chain of custody" confirmation -- kind of like how a XX is used to sync audio and video tracks in filmmaking?
