Where is the interval shooting mode on a Nikon D80?

Damn, just googled it and the D80 doesn't have it

Hey silverpenguin about how many pics on average did one of the shoots take.

Hey silverpenguin about how many pics on average did one of the shoots take.

A couple of scenes were only 300 shots and a couple were 600. Basically I rendered them out at 24fps so you can roughly work out how many stills you need per second of footage...will soon add up :mrgreen:

Dude, Awesome time lapse... For some strange reason, and yes, I am strange, it made me think of the dialogue from the Matrix when Agent Smith was talking to Morpheus. I would love to hear this dialogue over that time lapse

Agent Smith: Have you ever stood and stared at it, marveled at it's beauty, it's genius? Billions of people just living out their lives, oblivious. Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world. Where none suffered. Where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization which is of course what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution, like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You had your time. The future is our world, Morpheus. The future is our time.

Very well done, Silverpenguin. Hoping to experiment with time-lapse myself in the coming weeks.

how do you get your camera to count down and take shots like that ? or is it even possible with a Canon Xsi ?

You need the Canon TC-80N3 timer remote. It'll work for the XSi.

Will it work for the T1i?

Wasn't sure where best to post this?!

Ok so this is my first attempt at doing timelapse (time-lapse, time lapse, seen it spelt all three ways online!) and I'm pleased with how it came out as an experiment in what does and does not work. It's certainly not as easy as I thought it might be, with how to set the camera, looking out for dust spots, working out how the light might change during the fixed exposures and of course the sheer amount of time you have to put in to it. Still, here we go...

Also, link is to my blog where there is more info about shooting the video and a little 'behind the scenes' vid I did for fun.
