You certainly picked a very strong musical backing to your video with that particular track from Rihanna. If this is your first timelapse, you have made a good start.

Thanks, this was my first time-lapse video.

It's pretty good :)

Personally, I'd leave slightly longer between photos, because it looks like a slowed down video rather than a time lapse.

Thanks, this was made with Windows Live Movie Maker, to make the video look "time-lapsed" you simply change the video speed but the higher you set the speed, the more it lags. Next time I will use the actual time-lapse feature on my camcorder :).

A good video IMO, shows just how much traffic there has become over that stretch since I retired from truck driving.

We regularly used to deliver to Bedworth, near Coventry, and we used to have to drive over that section of the M6. Most of the time, that section was quite quiet, the exceptions being around the M69/A46 junction and anything north of the M42 junction near Birmingham.

Problem was, that was over 20 years ago! No wonder the traffic has increased!

What camera did you use? Also was exposure and shutter speed locked on the camera or not?

I use a JVC Everio GZ-HM300, this isn't a proper time-lapse video, it was just speeded up using Windows Live Movie Maker, I am uploading a proper time-lapse video by using the actual time-lapse function on my camera, look out for this video on my YouTube account. Also I have no idea about the exposure and shutter speed, sorry.

EDIT: Here are details copied from my camera from Flickr, it's quite a big list!
