Hi I'm new to the forum,
I was inspired by some time lapse shots on youtube so I decided to try my own, my camera is only a 400D but it is better than nothing, I had my first try last night, battery in camera only lasted around 3.5 hours. Just wondering if anyone can view my video and give me some tips on how to improve it. Was not sure about the focus, it was about as good as I could get it though with my crappy lens.
I think I need more light..
Settings, crappy canon lens at 18mm, ISO 1600, whitebalance 5000K, F stop 3.5, shutter 30 sec exposure every 30 seconds (so continuous). Used 'DSLR remote pro' a free program very very good, can set all camera settings from latop, as well as start and end time for timelapse.
Stitched together in a free program called "videomach" but its only a trial hence the watermark, I'm still not sure which program I will use in future, but videomach is very good. You have to watch in full screen, it looks way darker on youtube than on my pc for some reason..

I'm going to try and make my own power adapter for the camera today, it does not have dc power plug so I will try and hack something together!
Thanks for looking and any tips on how I can improve/comments welcome.
