Webcam Spotting

This morning I did something I've wanted to do for a while. I set up the computer to take a screencap every 15 seconds with the T&G webcam on the screen. Then I had my wife drive us downtown, park in front of City Hall, get out and use the camcorder to zoom in on the actual webcam while it's taking pictures of me doing it.



Here's the frame of me walking from the car, just after we pulled up at the curb in front of City Hall.



I probably should have picked a spot to stand that was in the sunlight. As it turned out, the spot I chose resulted only in some vaguely shadowed pixels that represent where I was standing, against that four foot high wall.



From where I did choose to stand, though, it was easy to spot the T&G webcam and zoom in for this shot.
