timelapse - Intervalometer for Nikon D3000



I have a wireless control for my shutter release, and it works great. An intervalometer or really any device that will release the shutter at stated intervals seems hard to find for the D3000. A guy posted a YouTube video of one he crafted, but he didn't provide any instructions for doing so.


Does anyone have any ideas for what I can do other than stand and click the button over and over?

If you're crafty, you can make something that uses your computer's serial port (or get a USB adapter for a missing port).


There are lots of instructions around the web. This website goes into great detail: http://www.beskeen.com/projects/dslr_serial/dslr_serial.shtml


Stark Labs offers a software-based intervalometer that can control these USB/Serial cables: http://www.stark-labs.com/page26/DSLR_Shutter.html


It's free software, too.


Of course, you have to use a computer to do these things.
