I like this. See if this makes some sense. In January, sunrises start (in WI) at 7:22, eventually getting to 7:08. Then in February, sunrise begings at 7:06 and gets to 6:29, etc. So, I'm thinking about setting up the timer in January for 7:52 (a half hour after sunrise). Then in Feb, starting the timer at 7:36, etc. Beginning on July 1, I would start the timer 1 hour after sunrise to account for the days getting shorter.
7 a.m. looks in January than July. I might be mis-understanding your overall vision for the project. Of course, regardless of time of day you will have documented the change of seasons, and that will have major visual impact.
My idea will not be seamless because of the daylight savings time clock adjustments, but as an example, think of March 15 (5 days after daylight savings time begins in 2019) through June 22. Every few frames would show a noticeable difference in shadows and light, as each day the sun would have risen a minute or two earlier than the previous day. So March 15 will have longer shadows and quite a bit less light than June 22. And then, if you continued until the time changes again, each day would be darker at that appointed time. The shadows and the
are going to be significantly different over several months if documented at the same time of day.
