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?
