    Hey all, thanks for your support in the previous challenge. I was completely caught by surprise :)

    Ok so recently I started trying out taking timelapse photos. Really interested in this area but I still have a lot to learn.

    Here's a really good tutorial and explains what you need.

    Here's an example of what I have done before;







    Usual rules apply! Thanks, everybody, and good luck!!

    Rules:
    - Closing Date is 2 weeks from now (i.e. Thursday 09/10/2014 at 5pm).
    - Only photos taken with this challenge in mind qualify - therefore the photo must be taken between now (Thursday 25/09/14 at 5pm) and Thursday 09/10/2014.
    - The photo must be taken by the person submitting it.
    - Only one photo per post, but submit as many posts as you like.
    - The next task/subject is to be chosen by the person who has the most thanks after their post at the closing date/time.

    This is quite challenging but fun :)



    Unfortunately I don't have a remote timer nor does my camera have a built in interval timer so I needed my laptop to trigger the camera.
    My cable to connect the two is only a meter long so I also needed to bring a chair with me to rest the laptop on :pac:

    I also brought a bag with 10Kg inside to hang from the camera stand. It helped to anchor the camera stand because it was super windy out and I didn't want the camera to move in the slightest.

    A lot of stuff to bring for a very short little clip but I'll probably do it again :)
    Camera was set to fully manual and I cropped the photos to a 2.39:1 aspect ratio.
    Here's a photo of the set-up.
