S4 00071

ecently a friend asked me to photograph his 2007 Supercharged Audi RS4 for him. I didn't expect to but got the chance to drive it for about 15 miles.

Sunset Time Lapse Video

So again I am playing with the intervalometer and the camera. Trying out settings and playing with video compression. This is just a quick video of the sun setting from the back deck. I wanted to get the transition to stars in the video but some settings didn't work and my battery died shortly after sunset. I will correct these issues and hopefully soon have another video for you.

New toy Intervalometer now with more time-lapse video!!

An intervalometer is used to capture time lapse photography with still cameras. I recently received mine after 3 weeks of shipping and receiving faulty cheap versions. The intervalometer ( shutter release timer) is fairly easy to use and I had to try it out right away. Luckily I had a fun little subject matter for about an hour. The subject matter was Lisa and I assembling our new CharBroil grill. The video is attached. Stay tuned and don't forget to share/sign up for my blog. There will be MANY MANY more Time Lapse videos coming. Hopefully with much more interesting plot lines.
