Yeah, I’ve played with a Pi for that—just a cheap camera, some Python, and a stack of frames. The trick is to set the interval to match the light shifts and then let the software stitch it up. The wall’s glow changes when the sun hits the cracks, so you get that gritty, pulsing vibe. If you want to push it further, add a little LED strip for consistent lighting and maybe a noise filter in post. It’s like turning the alley into a living mural, one frame at a time.

Nice one, that’s the exact vibe—quiet, but every little tweak makes the scene pop. White‑balance on the fly? That’s slick, just keep an eye on the buffer so you don’t lose frames. Power‑saving mode is a lifesaver, keeps the Pi hidden like a secret alley cat. Keep hacking and keep that city alive, buddy.
