timelapse

hi dan , with hdr software if i manually do 5 frames then it will batch process the rest

Ah, okay.

Dan

and ive just done the maths cos its 5 frames for each hdr shot its more like 3750 frames!!!!! ouch !!!

just been looking at the web and some are saying the k10 has only got a shutter life of 50,000 clicks - is this true ?

I would expect 100,000 or 150,000 would be more likely, but I'm not sure of the exact value.

Thanks to all lads,

Learnin' quite a lot from you all, But , just a question what is HDR?

Hideous Disastrous Result ,if you do it wrong.
Hight Dynamic Range ,if you do it right

Martin.

Has anyone ever purchased one of these timers from ebay?

Yes, I have. It works well as a corded remote trigger. I haven't tried it much with it's timer function but when I tested it when I first bought it, it worked fine.

thanks for the reply, would you happen to know if you can capture unlimited shots and how you set it to do so?


cheers.

Yes you can.

You can set a delay before the timing sequence starts from 00:00'00 - 99:59'59, shutter open duration (simulates 'B' exposure mode) from 00:00'00 - 99:59'59, interval between shots from 00:00'00 - 99:59'59, and number of shots from 0 - 339 and - - (infinite number until you press stop).

Hope that helps.

yes thanks very much order placed

. . . and you'll need a huge memory card if you want more than a few seconds of resulting video. Based on your 5 shots for HDR * 25 shots for 1 second of video, that's 125 frames you need to shoot plus a whole lot of HDR processing, for just one second of video.

Question: Is it worth it?

I guess you think it must be. Don't forget to post your results here.

PS: You'll probably need a mains power supply too . . .

it only be worth it if the effect is good!!

i intend to attempt a moving hdr timelapse from inisde a car with a hague camera mount , due to the speed of the car i will only pseudo hdr each frame then create the timelapse so should reduce the amount of frames.
Memory card shouldnt hopefully be an issue as im going to connect the camera in car to my laptop and record the shots straight to the hard drive - i already have a heavy duty 12v to 240ac converter to power both laptop and camera powersupply.

Fingers crossed there will be something worthwhile at the end of it , alternatively ill just shoot single frames (non hdr) at night with a delayed exposure going through a tunnel hopefully this will create some nice light trails and slight burring of the tunnel walls - i guess i wont know until i try.

I wont probably do anything until next pay cheque as i need the camera power supply and car mount but anything i do create i will definitely post here.

cheers!
