Time lapse photography on the nikon D90 you can use the nikon MC-DC2 remote control and set the camera on 1 fps in custom settings then put the camera on multiple pictures (L) next to AF on top of the D90 press the button on the remote then lock it, it will take pictures until you unlock the MC-DC2 or run out of space on your memory card make sure you have the MB-D80 battery pack for long periods of time. have fun. the only thing is when i did my first time lapse with the d90 is it stopped after like 100 pics so all i did is quickly unlock and lock the Mc-DC2 agin, and again until i was finished you can do this until the batteries are finished or your memory card is done... first of all thanks for the info on the quicktime it works great..

This is actually a common problem and I recommend you go to my site for more info and discussion on this because it's been raised there already. But a few things to keep in mind. How solid is your set up? Is there anyway that the camera/tripod/wooden frame is moving, even a little? What about your camera settings? Generally speaking, go manual for all settings, including white balance and focus. I assume you are shooting in aperture-priority mode, from what your post? Did you lock down the white balance in AE mode? Is it the exposure that is changing from one image to the next? or is it the whole frame? Hope that helps. Hi Marci.

You can try to make a mould firmly attached to a concrete or steel structure. Good luck! The frame must be tight to the camera.
