Light and Time - Sunrise to Sunset - very first tests

So for my first studio brief, I have to create a piece on light and time.  Having never studied photography or video in depth I started looking at basic ideas to begin with and simply experimented!  I liked the idea of animating the day through from dawn to sunset, so I set a tripod up with a camera infront of my house.  This however, turned out to be quite a tedious process as I had to take a photograph starting at 6am every 3 minutes gradually working my way up to 5 - 10 minutes.  When it got to 11am I then started taking 1 every 30 minutes.  As it approached late afternoon/early evening, I repeated the process of taking one every 5 - 10 minutes and then 1 every 3 minutes at around 7pm, until the sun went down.  I had to take them so close to each other just so that I wouldn't miss any radical changes and so my animation ran gradually.

Overall, I am happy with the result.
