Shot over 3.5 hours (1 shot every 5 minutes) with my Nikon D90 and Nikon 50mm 1.8.

lol, nicely done. How did you take the pictures? Pressing yourself?

I've heard it can be automatically done with a scientific calculator but I don't know how its done.

Hahhaa!! Thats cool!

'Basic' is my middle name I had a stopwatch going on my phone, ran upstairs every 5 minutes and took a shot manually. Managed to cook and eat dinner, wash up, watch 2 episodes of Friends and all of Top Gear during that time! Battery ran out at 9pm though which was a shame, the plant is looking much better now.

You can get Nikon software that does it automatically, but you have to be tethered to the PC so that could cause issues.

Brilliant..........

Shame theres not an auto time lapse built in

I think the D300 has it, to be honest I haven't even checked to see if mine does, so many options I haven't looked at yet.

Lol, nicely done. I have a program on my mac that takes a shot at given time intervals using the built in isight, but the image quality is rubbish. Shot a whole dinner party though, around 400 images. Looks wicked.

Need to get the camera software to hook it up the PC, would it use the standard usb cable to do this?

Yep I believe so, the Nikon software is fantastic apparently, it may have even been bundled with some cameras in the past (not sure if it still is)

 

[Brasseye]

nope they want £100 for the pc software but im shure it could be "found"

 

[MaLicE]

my d2x will auto do it for you... never tried it though, it also does multiple exposures lol but not bothered with that either lol.

D90 has that, again I'm not sure what it does!

 

[Leeshez]

Stunning.

That for doing HDR's etc. -2,0,+2 something like that.

Good job!

I've been meaning to give something like this a go for a while now, don't think i'd have the patience tho - I searched for the nikon software (torrents etc) but couldn't find it.

Did a Candle last night, more variation in lighting due to the fact there was a light source involved (obviously), all good fun though and I like the home-made feel...
