Discovering composite interval
Lens: 18-135 WR Camera: Pentax K-3 
Posted By: screamiky, 11-09-2014, 05:52 AM

Hi all, this is my first photo that I post here. The other day there was an amazing sky and I set up my K-3 for a timelapse of nearly 300 hundred RAWs, but surprisingly at the end of the shoot when I looked at the display of my dslr every photo looked nearly identical to one another except for the first 20 or so pictures. I thought that something was wrong with my setup and as soon as I checked I noticed that by accident I put my camera on "interval composite mode", which until then I didn't even try it Well, even though it wasn't planned, in the end I'm pretty happy with the result.
I think I'll experiment more with this mode.

Well at least you've got this great capture. I like the clouds... always been a sucker for skies!

Yeah, me too. When there are some clouds in the sky, I'm always looking forward for the sunset. The colours are always amazing.
