With my Canon SX210 IS and the ultra intervalometer script, now I'm able to capture take long time lapses with a series of photos. I have already tried shooting clouds in the sky, when the sun is setting down and the effect is very interesting, but I don't know any other situation where I could use the intervalometer.
Also, it would be good to know some tips about the use of intervalometers.
What ideas or hints do you have?
Answer
Essentially it is a nice feature if you don't want to hang around your camera. The camera snipes away for some hours and you don't have to care except for the sorting afterwards.
- combine with long-time-exposure and try to create a nightsky-shot (circling around polar star in the norther hemisphere)
- ... or even a 24h shot of an location, like this guy here: 24h above planet Sounio (below is the link to his "making of" - he had to control the process all the time)
- if you only want to celebrate New Years eve and can live with the "chance"-shot: use it for fireworks
- if you are into sports like skiing or sailing and do not have somebody like me [shutter-bugging you all the time], put it on the side of the slope/snowpark/sea (bonus: you know where to show the best tricks)
- put it on a kite and take some aerial photos of your own (actually ... my A610 starts acting up ... that sounds like a nice option ... thanks for the idea)
Same as the "normal" photography: your imagination is the limit.
