Its been storming all day, and now I'm out taking a sunset timelapse at about 7000ft. It's30 degrees and holwing gusty winds. Im thoroughly underdressed for this weather. The things we put ourselves through... fuuuuuucking yhumbs.

sounds great though. hope you survived through the night!

please share what you took when you are prepared to!

Fun times indeed. Every place has areas like this, you just have to dig. I was fortunate enough to have a friend of mine who was already experienced in it. If you do a quick google of "Urban exploration" there's a few communities that you could join. I'm sure there are some people who do this in MA.

I like this little fella more and more..

I've been privileged

with the super macro lens I have in my possession. I'm trying to think of more scenes I can do in the macro world.

Just to put it into perspective for how incredible thin that depth of field is-- I was shooting at f/8.0, and the subject is no more than 2.5mm wide. Shooting at f/2.8 is just way too shallow-- I have to learn how to do focus stacking as well (so I can shoot at f/2.8, get some nice background blur, but have the subject sharp.)

I went for a stroll after work the other day and took a couple snaps, I only have an iphone though

Id like to get a serious camera one day and go adventuring with it.

I still haven't quite understood focus stacking. Is it easier than just taking a shot with as deep DOF as possible, and 'shopping some lens blur around your subject? It's seems like that method would require less in post than focus stacking, but I don't really know much about macro. Fascinating stuff though. What lens/body are you using?

apparently smartphone cameras can yield half-decent results; i wasn't aware of this until recently.

more to come.

Cool shots vballs! Did you go there recently? What's the tourist scene like there these days? I always get nervous thinking about the site's preservation.

And Bleak, nice and moody! It's getting to be that time of the year when I think your style really shines. Show us the goods!

Edit:
One more thing...I know a few of you here are avid timelapse-ers. I am neck deep in a DIY motion project. I'm building a 6' collapsible dolly slider using aluminum and ball bearings. I put a hole in my wrist with a drill bit (unintentionally), and wasted $50 worth of materials due to incompetence, but I have the truck and rails done finally. They look and work awesome. My only problem now is getting power to the thing.

Long story short, I know nothing about electric circuits and powering DC motors. Do any of you have any suggestions for where to learn some basics? I can understand basic schematic symbols, but have no idea how to understand my own. I'm using a 5mm timing belt/pulley with a 0.45rpm 12V DC motor (whatever that means--it was mentioned in the plans I'm following). What I don't know is how to power it in the field, or how to vary the speed. All descriptions I see of similar projects on timelapse forums start with volts, amps, watts, etc... I don't even know what those are to be honest. I'm good with math up to Calc, but I'm screwed, I know, but really want to learn!
