Time-lapse updates

I’ve been doing some work on the time-lapse videos recently. As the site has evolved over the years I’ve tried a variety of different time-lapse options. Please vote in the poll on the YouTube channel if you have a favorite. https://www.youtube.com/@boulderflatironcam/posts

Louisville time-lapse and archive

Superior time-lapse and archive – amazing how much the trees have grown since 2013

Boulder has daily time-lapse videos created and saved to the following YouTube playlists

The videos are created with webcam.io which is a great time-lapse and even image hosting company. You can see the hosted time-lapse with even more player options here https://webcam.io/webcams/90lVZ9

Nederland Busey Brews is also using webcam.io to create a daily video. The Nederland page has the webcam.io player embedded. https://boulderflatironcam.com/nederland/

New Louisville Camera

The original camera in Louisville is twelve years old and having a lot of downtime issues. We’ve set up a new live streaming camera and you can see there’s been massive image quality improvements over the years. The camera will have a live stream as well still images from each of the preset stop locations.

It may take some time to get the new images embedded into the site, but for now you can see the new stream on the home page. Please let me know what you think in the comments.

Flagstaff Virtual Cycling

You can see Flagstaff mountain from all three of the BFC cams.  It’s one of my favorite rides with great views, a good workout and lots of fun descending.  Last fall I recorded the ride for Fulgaz, a unique virtual cycling training app.  I love riding all over the world with Fulgaz virtual rides and really wanted to try some local rides.  Fulgaz is a long way from my younger days watching recordings of the Tour de France while riding a wind resistance trainer, now you can ride the climbs in the tour.

The Super Flag ride is up now on Fulgaz, you can see a preview here.  There’s a two week free trial, so if you’re used to riding Flagstaff give it a try and compare it to real life.  Fulgaz has lots of info for how you get started, it’s a great app.  There are more Boulder county and Colorado rides in the pipeline.

Update: Mike at Fulgaz added a couple other rides in Colorado. Sunshine canyon in Boulder and Spring Creek pass in southwest Colorado.

Looking for a Nederland location

The Ned Cam was a great resource to get a current view of Nederland.  It seems that cam has been shut down and there’s new ownership of the NedNet ISP, so it seems unlikely to come back.  If anyone knows the owner of the nedcam, please drop me a line.

I’d like to put up a cam in Nederland with a nice view of Eldora and the Indian Peaks.  Does anyone know of a good location or host?  The site needs to have power and internet service and be willing to provide occasional access to the camera.

It would be a great opportunity for a business to sponsor the cam.

Please pass along any leads to info at boulderflatironcam.com  or reply to this post.

Thanks!

Reddit post about May snow

Thought I’d post this from the early May snow storm. Someone used a couple BFC images for the funny section of Reddit. It was one of the top posts for the day.
