    Really cool.

    I got a photo of it, but the clouds are so red you wouldn't believe they were actually that colour in reality.

    Very nice indeed, well done.
    The front cleared through here before sunset, we had nothing like that.

    Nice one. Like the way you've captured two sets of clouds moving in different directions.

    I've been doing this for a while and what works for me is described here, it gets a bit geeky but bear with me ...

    OK

    1. you need a tripod, or some way to anchor your camera.
    2. compose your shot
    3. set your camera to manual exposure - figure out what works for you to make the exposure right, don't leave it in Auto
    4. set your WB to whatever works, don't leave it in Auto
    5. set your focus to manual, don't leave it in Auto

    6. the camera I use (Nikon D300) has a thing called Interval Timer built in to its software, so I set it to take a frame very 10 seconds, and keep going for as many frames as I want. Before I had the D300, I had a D70 which didn't have the interval timer, so I used an InfraRed remote and manually fired off a frame while counting in my head. Different cameras have different ways of achieving the same thing, there are other yokes you can get to attach to your camera, the thing not to do is touch or move the camera while you're doing the timelapse.

    7. When I'm finished shooting, I suck all the pictures into Lightroom and do whatever post I need to, then export them as a sequence of jpegs and import into quicktime to slow down and add music. There's a bunch of other different ways to do this that I know nothing about especially in a PC.

    Cheers,

    Hugh
