Timelapse: Framingham to Boston

Having fun with the GoPro Hero 9

Last Saturday, I took a a virtual journey to the heart of Boston, capturing the entire trip with my trusty GoPro. The result? A dynamic video that showcases the transition from suburban landscapes to the bustling cityscape of downtown Boston.

The video kicks off in high gear with a mesmerizing timelapse sequence. You'll watch as we zoom along the Massachusetts Turnpike, with scenery whizzing by in a blur of colors and shapes. It's fascinating to see how quickly the environment changes - from quiet neighborhoods to busier suburbs, and finally to the outskirts of the city.

As we approach Boston proper, the pace changes. I switched the GoPro to regular speed, allowing viewers to fully absorb the urban atmosphere. You'll notice the gradual build-up of traffic, the increasing density of buildings, and the appearance of iconic Boston landmarks. This dual-speed approach offers a unique perspective on the journey. The timelapse portion emphasizes the distance covered and the changing landscape, while the regular speed segment lets you experience the city as if you were right there in the car with me.

Throughout the video, keep an eye out for:

The evolution of architecture as we get closer to the city

  • The ebb and flow of traffic on the Mass Pike - Not bad for 6pm on a Saturday.
  • Glimpses of Boston's skyline as we approach
  • Navigating the traffic downtown.
