Hello everyone! Just logged in for first time to ask for any advice on Time Lapse Photography, taken (Doing photos) as a retirement hobby, for about a year now.just getting there? but, working with a Bridge camera, Yes I'm lazy, but it keeps me happy, I know that I have to use Manual Mode, But the intervals stump me, and the Light Exposures? Be kind to me please!

Hi inthehouse, and welcome!

Please be more specific about what 'stumps' you?
And what camera are you using?

Just think about what it is you are photographing. If it's cars driving down the road and you want to follow a set of cars down the road, then about 1 second intervals. If its a slow moving boat----10 to 15 second intervals. If it's the stars in the sky then about 5 minute intervals! It's up to the effect you are after. You also need to think about the frame rate in post production! Normal vid will require 24 frames per second! But for effect, that might be too fast.......so try 10 frames per second! How long do you want the action to last? This will have an effect on how many frames you need to shoot! Watch this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM7EJZ-8HWw It's verrrrrry informative :-)

Good luck (Not that you will need it)

Hi, I'm new too, but think I may be able to contibute.
I have experimented with timelapse and obtained beautiful results with cloud formations over landscapes. For this a frame rate in the region of 1 frame every few seconds works well. At these rates I have also had good results with tidal changes on coastal areas, small harbours, marshes etc. Hope you enjoy experimenting.

On my Canon Eos, I use the TC-80N3. You can set it to take a photo at many different intervals. It can also be used to hold the shutter open in bulb.
