The other day I found myself hanging out the passenger window with Canon Rebel XT in hand as we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. So I did what any red-blooded photographer would do... I put the camera in burst mode and started shooting.
By the time I reached the other end, I had 90 frames recorded. Now what? I decided to make what I call a "digital flipbook." It's essentially a series of shots saved as a fast-paced QuickTime movie. Anyone on Mac or Windows, with a copy of QuickTime Pro, can employ this technique. Essentially, you use the Image Sequence command (File > Open Image Sequence...) and point QuickTime to the first picture in a folder that contains your pictures. It does the rest.
It's really a hoot! You can learn more about this and see my digital flipbook, called "The Bridge" over at The Digital Story.
