Some nice shots. Northumberland is great for wide open skies. Well done

Thanks for all the kind comments, much appreciated. Living in Donegal, which is one of the wettest and windiest parts of Europe, it can be hard to capture timelapses. Capturing sunrises and sunsets can be frustrating as often nothing happens in sky and you have to go back another day.

Wind often wobbles the tripod and ruins the sequence or blurs the frames (sometimes these can be saved using the warp function in Premiere Pro). Moving water (rivers and the sea) can knock the tripod (in the opening sequence I and the tripod were waist deep in the river). Rain and condensation can affect the lens (an umbrella helps sometimes and lens heater at night). People and animals can stray into frame or unwanted reflections and sensor spots show (removed on a frame by frame basis in Lightroom and/or photoshop which takes time when each individual sequence has on average 350 photographs). Flickering can also be a problem because the lens aperture blades don't always close by the same amount on each capture (usually shot with the lens fully open or in many cases I use older Pentax manual lens and set the aperture on the lens then decouple the lens from the camera body).

A new film comprising 10,500 individual photographs was taken over 5 years in all seasons to capture and showcase the stunning beauty and varied landscapes of a part of the island of Ireland which is often dubbed 'the forgotten county'. Mostly shot with Pentax K1

I looked at the K3ii manual online and the K3ii doesn't appear to have the timed bulb mode that the K1 has. Thus timed bulb exposure can only be done manually via the shutter button (in mode 1 or mode 2) or via an external remote timer.

As womble has posted the K3iii appears to have the timed bulb mode upto 20 mins. Looks like the K1, K1ii, KP, K3iii and K70 have the mode but K3 and K3ii don't

Don't forget to check that Bulb setting is in the default mode 1 in the settings menu. You will probably need neutral density filters for long exposures. I recommend Breakthrough Photography filters but have to admit that I'm an affiliate of Breakthrough and can offer a discount

With a K1 you can use bulb mode then press green button to enable long exposure (bulb display on rear screen changes to time) . Use front wheel to change exposure time up to 20 mins. No need for manual release start/stop

I've used Alan Marlow link a few times. Great service and price but not certain if he can do DA* lens

Now sold to Mike. Thanks

Last chance , now reduced to £265 plus postage

It’s out of Pentax warranty but I’ll offer 14 days return if not satisfied (postage excluded).

I had this for only a few months on K5 before I switched to FF so little use.

Let me know if you need any photos.

Postage cost to uk will be £8.95 (I live in Ireland but can send Royal Mail from Northern Ireland)
