My very short 1st time lapse....

[350gt]

like I said its short....... I learned that charged batteries go a long way...

I have a lot to learn....

[350gt]

want to try and capture one of a coral through out the whole day.......

[ElChicano]

Looks great..

[SoLiD]

Pretty cool. How did you do it?

[350gt]

Camera, tripod, intervalometer (some cameras have it built in), adobe Lightroom 4...

It was only a total of 86 shots set to shoot every 3 seconds I believe.... I would have done a longer piece but my battery died.

[350gt]

Looks great..


Thanks... I think towards the end it was too bright..

What settings would you use for a typical cloud scene like that and with it changing in a short period of time?

Have you ever put one together?

[CoryDude]

That's pretty cool dude! I've got one built in on my camera and have been meaning to give it a shot.

[350gt]

It's not as hard as it might seem.... As long as you understand the basics of your camera, which I am still learning....

The video is super short but i have been wanting to create one for so long and finally figured almost everything out...

[rrasco]

Pretty sweet. I was looking into this not too long ago, but I didn't want to buy an intervalometer.

[350gt]

Got mine on amazon for under $30

[350gt]

Lol it's so cheap, you have to take out the batteries to turn it off..... Lol

But it works and has good reviews, besides having to take the batteries out....

[350gt]

do it cory, would love to see how good yours comes out.....

[350gt]

well I gave it another shot and wasnt to happy with this one

I completely missed the sun and it was set in aperture priority mode, so there was some flicker..... Manual mode is a must.

[350gt]

3rd time the charm?

Hey T,

Those are nice. I like the last one, but also liked the second one as well. Different angle and I think because the sun was rising from the right side, and just out of sight, you could really focus on the clouds and how they were changing colors in regard to the sun.

Should set up one on some Texas Trash over a month so we could see it grow from 1 polyp to a colony... or maybe fairy dust palies. :)

[reefreak]

i personally love the sunrise one.

Thanks Jeremy.... This hobby is cutting in to my reef habit...

Thinking about breaking down the nano to help fund a new lens :-/

[reefreak]

lol really?

[350gt]

Ya..... Been thinking about it alot lately.... I can focus more on just my 110... Wish I would have tied it in to my existing tank, would have made things a bit easier... Oh well, it's a great little tank with a bunch of goodies..

[reefreak]

what kind of goodies are we speaking?

[Scutterborn]

its just so hard lol! but yeah that's what i'm mostly trying to do.

[Scutterborn]

You sound like me, dude! I see a frag that I've got no place for and instead of saving my cash to reseal the tank I ask someone to hold it for me! I'm bad about that...


- Ben -

[reefreak]

yeah i know just how you feel

[Mr Cob]

Awesome Tony, what a great effect, thanks for sharing.

[Scutterborn]

I really like all of them, Tony! I need to see if I can do something like this with my camera.

[350gt]

Ben, thanks and ya I know what you mean...... My garage is a mess of stuff right now... Someone building a nano or wanting one should Be on the lookout..

[reefreak]

Well i do have a 10g.....

[350gt]

Undecided if I will part with the mp10, but there will be the RR 20 long painted black on back and bottom, custom built sump, bubble Magnus skimmer, aquatic life t5 fixture, RKL, sicce .5 return pump, and 2 24" stunner LEDs.....

Keep ya posted.... Going to take my time transferring everything over to my display..

[Scutterborn]

My wallet requested that I unsubscribe from this thread... Bah! I never listened to it anyway!!

[350gt]

Lol

[350gt]

another one....

I made a mistake of taking of the camera too early, he was going to opening up again and i missed it.....

[Scutterborn]

That's was pretty cool. I agree you should've let it run a bit longer.


-Ben-

[350gt]

I was but I was using some setting that takes 3 pics at different exposures and I thought I had enough footage but I only had a third of what I thought...... when I realized what I did, I was about to delete it all from my memory card... The I decided to upload them to see what I did get.... I need to do this one again....

[rrasco]

Dude, hold the camera still :P That was pretty cool

Question: dD all toadstools have those feathery ends to their polyps? My toadstool sucks, it's pink (it was supposed to be green/white I was told) and the polyps extend, it grows, but I don't have those tips on the polyps that are all feathery.

[350gt]

I wasnt holding it.... I was using a tripod and the flow was too much... I should have turned my Mp40s off..... next time..lol

I picked this guy up from louis a while back, looks like he is splitting... dont know know how they split of if they even do.

I dont know about the feathery ends but his guy has some sweet polyps that open up more when the flow is lighter.

[rrasco]

Haha, I know...I was just kidding

I just moved my guy to higher flow so we'll see if that makes a difference. I hope so, I glued him down this time.

[Mr Cob]

wow dude that was awesome

[350gt]

wow dude that was awesome

thanks Rob.... IDK why I picked up another hobby...lol especially an expensive one..

But is there such thing as a cheap hobby?

[ElChicano]

But is there such thing as a cheap hobby?

There are plenty of cheap hobbies.. Just not cool.. LOL

[350gt]

You are right.....


A grip and 4 battery packs should arrive today..

[Scutterborn]

I tried to put my d5100 in time lapse and it wouldn't do it. Idk. I got a bit frustrated and went back to just staring at the tank.


- Ben -

[350gt]

lol

Do the nikons have it built in, I think some do....

[Scutterborn]

It has it in the menu. I looked it up online. It kept saying "could not activate in current state". What state!?! On a tripod! Grrr!


- Ben -

[350gt]

Maybe you have to edit the settings first?


Like set your intervals for 3 seconds?

[Scutterborn]

The first is turning the feature on. That's where I'm stuck... I'll figure it out... Someday!

Glad I'm not the only one that gets distracted staring at tanks....lol

[ElChicano]

Some cameras dont have the feature. You can use a timer remote.
You can pick one up pretty cheap on amazon for like 20 bucks. Just hook it up to the camera. Set your time and let the camera do its thing.

[350gt]

Yup it's a set it and forget it type of thing.... If in a secure location of course...

Set this one up while at the BBQ/meet at elegant..
