That second picture looks really, really cool. Could you link a full-res version of it?

[Liquid Snake]

Yep, the second pic = win.

As far as tripods go, I have one but I almost never use it. Too much hassle I guess.

BTW, what happened to the avatar tease?

[KRSESQ]

NOW we're talking.

If you have a monster capacity storage card and a good video editing program you should try some time-lapse or stop-motion animation. My son Lucas and I have been playing with the time-lapse capability of his camera with considerable success.

Great photos Lizzie - hope you were still up from the night before...

If you do get a tripod, get one that's (a) lightweight and (b) has a spirit level in it. I have a really really old steel one and yes, it holds the camera steady, but it not hugely useful for lugging around or taking panorama shots with. I'm also v. jealous of your eye!

Nice pictures!
But arent you pointing the camera in the wrong direction??

Our recipe:

(camera on a sturdy tripod, of course!)

1. Load at least a 512 MB memory card.

2. Set image resolution to 640x480 (or 704x480 or 720x480, if the camera supports it) jpg format.

3. Set camera white balance, aperture, & focus all to manual.

4. Frame your subject and start shooting. If the camera has an interval timer this is easy. If not, you have to stand there and snap each pic by hand, being VERY careful not to jiggle the camera.

5. Import the photos to your pc (expect to end up with a LOT of photos).

6. Import the photos into Adobe Premiere or Media Studio Pro or any other video editing software that will let you set a default still image duration of one frame. Just import the images into a media bin and drop the bin onto the timeline. The images will already have sequential names so they should end up in the right order automatically.

7. Render and enjoy!

I don't know if Luke has any of his video posted online. If so I'll post a link. It's a lot of tedious work but the results can be spectacular.
