Thanks Peter and Gale.
You can see the time lapse movie here:

About 10 MB, QuickTime movie. If anyone needs another format, let me know and I will see if I can come up with it.
No, I will not put my stuff on Youtube. The quality is too low!:wink:
You may laugh, but I am actually disappointed. I was hoping for more consistency in the light between frames using an AC powered Elinchrom flash. I guess I am going to have to try other things, including hot lights. The search goes on.
This was shot with a D2X and the Nikon 85 f/2.8 PC. F11, 1/200. All processing was done using Camera RAW from Bridge, then an action recorded in CS2 to resize, sharpen and add the copyright. Took about half an hour, mostly because I had to hit return 133 times because [email protected]#$%@ingshop doesn't provide a means to not have the JPEG quality dialog appear.
Thank you. I appreciate the compliments.Wow! That is so freakin cool! Disappointed? You should be awful proud of that effort, Ed.
I'm still shakin my head on how awesome that is. Thanks for sharing and the process.
Thanks. One of my favorites too.I love Iris'! And that time lapse is amazing!!
They are always surprising for me. This is why I like to do them. Did you notice the bugs on the stem? They move at one point.Couldn not say it better than Peter.
That is beautiful and very fascinating to me
I love to watch nature
Thanks. Finding interesting flowers to shoot can be frustrating. I am trying to develop a relationship with a shop near me that gets in interesting stuff. I've even taken some prints in there to show them I am fairly serious.Gorgeous, Ed, simply gorgeous, both the photograph and the video! If you want a place to stash all your videos for free, you can put them on www.half-lime.com which will allow 640x480 MOV and AVI files. I also found the quality of YouTube totally lacking.
I just spent an hour driving around to local flower shops trying to find some irises!! No luck. :frown:
Thanks.The picture is Great and the time lapse fantastic
Well Done Peter
Glad you liked it.Loved the photos and time lapse recording.
Three questions:
1) How did you acheive the black background?
2) Is your iris a cut iris or a plant in a pot?
3) At how many intervals did you take each shot?
Outstanding work! Would love to try something like that.

I used the D2X's built in interval feature. I did use an AC adapter, though in this case it wasn't necessary.I see the answer to my number 3 question, "Recorded at 3 minute intervals, 134 frames."
I went back and reread the thread.
Did you use some kind of intervalometer? Or did you have your camera hooked up to a computer running Nikon capture?
