I know that the best cameras are probably gonna cost you over 500 bucks.

You don't need anything near the 'best cameras' in order to take basic timelapse photography, but you are right in that all of the 'prosumer'-grade or higher DSLRs alone will run substantially higher than $500.

Kygator, feel free to PM me and we can start to piece together a setup for you. At the very least you can take some great standard stills and long-exposure shots.

Yeah, that's basically the direction I'm coming from. I probably should have said any DSLR instead of just "best cameras." I have an entry-level DSLR which the body and kit lens cost between 500-600 bucks and it was on sale 100 bucks off. I don't know anything about time lapse photography though so I'm completely unknowing to what level of equipment would be needed.

Your equipment is more than capable of producing good timelapse sequences.

Anyways, I just spent about a minute watching this:

If that's all it takes then it might be a fun little experiment to try out while I'm taking pics for my Facebook page.

Also, WTF? That was 1 trippy chair. @_@

There's more you'll need to know about the process and one additional piece of equipment. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you want to discuss any of it. :)

Happy Thursday indeed. One day closer to the weekend. We had a quick line of nastiness here in Charleston. Didn't lose power and now it's windy and 50?. Big fan of that.
