Hi all, just thought I'd post up something I'd been working on for my own wedding. It's a CHDK powered motion-detection-triggered photobooth. It's intended to be operator free, just set it up and copy the pictures off the SDcard at the end of the night. Idea is that people can just come up to a camera and backdrop set up to the side, camera will detect and automatically shoot a series of photos, then reset and wait for next group.
Parameters are:
a: Number of shots to take in a row
b: Delay before each shot (seconds)
c: Timeout before re-arming motion detection (seconds)
d: Time to verify that there really is a person/group in the frame and not just someone walking past
e: MotionDetection threshold (Parameter F in

f: Debug mode, don't actually take a picture, just play shutter sound
Developed and tested on a SX110 IS, I'll test it on a couple older cameras later as well.
update: tested with SD1000, works fine!
My first time writing a CHDK script, comments and suggestions welcome!
edit: updated script slightly.
