  1. Is it possible to use the in camera settings for interval shooting to create a timelapse with 30" shots over a desired amount of time, rather than setting your camera up to continuous mode and using an intervalometer? Only asking because I want to go out tonight to try star trails but I don't have an intervalometer. I can see the intervalometer coming in handy if I wanted to shoot say 2 minute exposures and stack those, I just don't understand why I'd need it with the 30 seconds exposure. Am I missing something? Thank you!

  2. I don't personally own a camera or have too much of an interest in photography, but I have to say that this tutorial definitely sparked an interest in me. Your explanations are clear and concise, this video is great. Thanks!

  3. Additional tip: Get a head lamp that has 'red light' mode as well as white light, that way you won't have to keep waiting for your eyes to readjust after image reviewing or working the controls on the camera
