Time-lapse photography.

After someone posted at work posted an awesome time-lapse photage ( http://vimeo.com/dustinfarrell/landscapes2 ), it prompted me to try something similar... sans the rig to move the camera.

The part I liked the best was watching the night sky move... and that I think I have the tools to mimic ( if not nearly as well. )

My $10 tripod is being upgraded; I just ordered a slightly more robust unit ( http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...with_BHQ8.html ) -- yes, I recognize anything less than a $200 tripod is crap crap crap, but for me this will suffice.

My camera has an intervoltameter so I can do time-lapse --- set my exposure settings and how frequently to shoot, and let it go.

I do have a question: If I'm going out to the country on an October evening, the chance for dew/moisture/condensation is high. If I have the camera out for 30-60 minutes of clicking, it seems to me inevitable that the lens will fog up. How do you combat this? What about the possibility of dew on the body?

It mean that your house is much cooler than the warm high humidity outdoor. What you want to do is keep your camera gears to the same temperature as outside to prevent fogging, such as putting it in a plastic bag outside for a while to let the camera & lens normalize with outside temperature before take it out to take pictures.
 
That man is a master. Watching all of his posts, its crazy how much better he's gotten in just 2-3 years. Makes me wish my eyes could see in HDR.
