I was killing some time this afternoon in Fort Lauderdale and decided to try to get a time lapse of the bridge near my hotel. I grabbed my trusty 7D, my intervalometer and my sticks and headed out back to see if I could capture the bridge as it opened for large boat traffic.
It was very windy which makes for fast-moving clouds but that also means that the image alternates between sunshine and shade. The bridge cooperated and opened after 5 minutes of shooting!
