The aggies are starting to open

The agapanthus in our front yard is just starting to open.

Nice work John, Good lighting, I guess your working it out gradually. Good subject for the intervalometer!

Still had to do a slight adjustment on exposure (+0.4). This is full size, no crop.
Yes, it would make a great time lapse sequence. The only problem I can see is maintaining focus as the wind moves the flower head around. I'm not sure which focus method would be the best for this situation. I don't think IV Servo would work. Plus I don't fancy leaving the camera in the front yard all day unaccompanied.

We have them powering open in Mudgee after the rain as well.

I did some time lapse with the 7D and a cheap intervalometer.

#1 Ice melting, 2 hours condensed down to ~40 seconds, 1300 photos.

Ice 1 (PC).avi

#2 2014 GP Run, 3315 images, 20 minutes cut down to 2:45

Pretty cool John. The only time lapse I did, I used an elastic band and just held the shutter down. It worked OK but nowhere near as good as the Nikon D850.

Good timing to catch it.

Thanks mate, walk right past them every day on the way to the letter box hard to miss.
