Interval Timer Test

As a good husband should I brought my wife flowers for no particular reason then proceeded to not put enough water in the vase....

Result was drooping flowers.

But then I though maybe I can use this as an opportunity to use the interval timer function on the d300.

Here is a Vid of the result

Here is what I learnt:

I should have manually set the focus and white balance. I think the variation you see in the light and focus is a little distracting.

Enjoy.

I agree with manual focus but the variations in WB would be more difficult to control due to the time differentials (read light). Maybe use a flash.

The results are quite startling and would be great for a Viagra ad - instead of drooping they become erectile :D

Hmmm... for some reason my browser doesn't like it and freezes up before the playback starts. Sorry. (FF3 on Windows XP Pro v5.1 SP2)

ETA: It might be that I don't have quite the latest Adobe Player - I am still on v9.0.115.0. I'll update later and come back to see if that works; have too many windows open to do it right now. :)

cyanide - I am not sure why the vid is not working for some. Smugmug does some conversion after uplaod so maybe that is the problem.

sirhc55 - I like your thinking :)
