Thanks to the people at Raspberry Pi Forums for chiming in. This way is better than what I was doing before in the past (literally taking small images quickly).

So yeah I'm still using basic software

I also added in basic "shake to wake" thing to use the IMU

I did go out and do some photography. I initially went to this park but it was pretty boring/flat, middle of winter here so everything's brown/dead. This was the best pic I got. I'll have a video out tomorrow.
