- time lapse

gear: ideally a good camera with tripod. OR a smartphone (I will bring a mini tripod with smartphone holder). lens: tele lens can help control the frame.

but I will have one anyway.

After, we can have hot drinks at some cafe or in the station cafe.

Once the event starts, I will not be checking messages, so if you do run late, please call me! (Sean)
