Time Lapse from my GoPro, and yes I've done egg-timers too, works great.
It's really easy to do timelapse on a GoPro, or even any point and shoot camera, where you shoot jpg images every 2 seconds, or .5 seconds, or 1-2
minute intervals, then download those into free Windows Live Moviemaker.
Remember that for smooth playback, you need 30 frames (jpgs) per second of playback...........so for example a 10 second video, will encompass 300
still photos and so on.
This fog scene was about 6-7 hours in filming, watch the shadow from the bridge/sun move over the water as it rises from low to high tide.
