The Nikon D200 has a cool feature that lets you do time lapse.
I've been wanting to do some serious time lapse shooting, but have yet to get around to it....this whole work and provide for the family thing can take up time. So, on my home from work today I set up the interval shooting feature on the camera, sat the camera on top of my work bag and let it rip. The quality setting for the images was set at basic and small. If you go bigger than that get ready for some serious processing time. Believe it or not, I put this together on Window Movie Maker! Yup, with Adobe Premiere on my windows machine and three Macs around me, I found the Windows Movie Maker to work well for a quick, no extra effects, movie.
Gear: Nikon D200, Sigma 15-30 lens.
Interval Settings: About 900 shots, 1 sec intervals.
Image settings: Small basic, iso 200.
