Call you spell

Errrrr...

If you mean a track system to wind the camera along like this, yes maybe later.

This is the timer thingamy - bought cos it was cheap.  Someone tell it it won't do what I'm thinking of now.  :grin:

This is what piqued my interest in doing this: http://www.vimeo.com/22439234?ab

Obviously I'm not expecting anything like that, but it's something new to try and you've got to love that sort of thing.  Already got a number of projects to try out with it.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

the one thing i will suggest dh is finding a decent bit of software to put it together as in my experience taking the shots was the easy bit.

Well I'll be starting with Premier Pro and if that fails I'll be upgrading my Quicktime to Pro - apparently it'll nail the shots all together from sequentially numbered images.

If I'm still failing, I have a mate who's done several, so I'll tap him up  :wink:

yeah any sort of rail system / rig to move the camera between shots, the most interesting time lapse videos I've seen are shot from moving rigs, and you can knock one up on the cheap.

The tamron 70-300mm Lens aint bad really for the money. I use it and its lasted a while
Took this down my local doc's. Got put in the local paper in a christmas comp lol


As for software goes cant beat photoshop cs5 if you can use it  :rolleyes:

What uses would you suggest for a sigma 10-20mm other than landscapes. Do you think it would be anygood for cars?

landscapes, interior shots with a small working distance, wide angle lenses usually have a close working distance so can be good for close up work (esp when combined with the wide angle of view).  Could be good for car work as you won't need to be too far back, but be-aware that anything that wide will have noticeable barrel distortion (normally correctable) although sometimes distortion can add to the image.
