time lapses - getting to know your intervalometer

November 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

I've been inspired to shoot more pictures lately. Like everything else in my life I tend to go for quantity over quality, so I shot a LOT of pictures. I acquired a battery/intervalometer for my Nikon D40 a while back and didn't even notice the intervalometer settings until recently.

 

I've shot quite a few tests with it and I'll post them below. The first was clouds through my kitchen window.

Snow is coming so there is a lot less opportunity for nice cloud shots, but I'm sure I'll find something worth playing with! If you have any suggestions post them in the comments!
