Great work!
Thanks for sharing.

What did you have the camera sitting on, the horizon seems little jittery. Other than that, well done.

RonHendriks1966 · 04-22-2012, 02:36 PM

Looks good. How many pictures did you take? Did you use the time-manager from the K-5 (interval)?

Yes about that, I set the SR off thinking I didn't need it since the camera was on a tripod. Something I learned for next time.

I took about 4800 shots. Use PKTether on my laptop.

SR should be disabled for tripod shots, what do you have for a tripod?.

What was the interval? My best guess is ten seconds but I'm not sure. You started at 6am, but when did it end?

So you just increased 4800 shutter actuations in one day, on a shutter that is rated for 100,000 actuations. Well worth it, I guess.

Gosh, I guess I should worry more about my shutter count. I mean, I buy cameras to think of the shutter count, not to use it in ways that I find enjoying or interesting. Once I get to 99,999 shots, I'm going to put my k-x down and never use it again.

Your sarcasm is well taken. Not everyone can afford to spend 5% of the lifespan (as shutter count is normally equivalent to camera lifespan ) of a camera that cost around $1000 in one day. But then with such a nice result, it's priceless.

Nice guess! Ended about 8 PM. Missed 30 minutes in between because I went to sleep after I started it and before I got up the after market battery ran out after only 1380 shots. Btw the stock Pentax battery was good for more than 2500-2600 shots. I wasn't autofocusing, so that always helps.

Exactly my response. I spent my hard earned money on it, might as well use it for something awesome. And I'm not planning on keeping this camera for like 5 years or more. I change technology quite frequently. So I will shoot and have a good time with this probably until K-3's successor is released.

you should try tp use Deshaker and MSU deflicker to remove the shakes & flickering effetcs, they are plugins for the free video editing software : Virtualdub.
I use them for my time-lases, it works just fine.
I've make a article on my blog about them and how to use them with virtualdub for T-L, but it's in french... Séquences time-lapse : supprimer les scintillements & tremblements | La Belle Lumière

and the result :

Really nice thanks for sharing! One of these days I hope to get some timelapse of flowers opening.

Are you planning to take your leftover shutteractuations with you in your grave? I guess they are there to use and use for the pictures one likes to take. I think these are wel spend
