In other words, the GoPro on the machine and the dumpster were shooting at 1080p 60 fps but the one in the front yard was shooting time lapse wide angle 10mp pictures every 2 seconds.The other thing to remember when taking pictures with a GoPro is that the picture dimensions are significantly larger than the video (1920x1080) so you have quite a bit of wiggle room if you want to zoom your time lapse pictures while they are playing.Depending on the length of the shoot this can easily amount to 5-10k pictures.
