I purchased an interval timer for my Canon T3. I have gotten the programming down pretty well. Now, I'd like for someone here on UHH to give me (and others that have one) some ideas about setting the camera up for some night photos to produce some light-trails, etc.
I hope someone on the site could direct me to this information that might ba available here, or tell me where I can find it.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

This is another reason to look at Magic Lantern for Canon. One of the many new functions it adds is an intervalometer. Magic Lantern is open-source, FREE.

For stars, star trail or meteors, I have used, open 20 seconds with one second between exposures. 17-35 mm lens, f2.8 @1600 iso. That should give you a good starting point.

A thanks to you,mrtobin, for the information. Will try it out and see what happens. If I get any good ones, I'll try to post them on the site...

hswader here, a real amateur photographer. Hope I get better at it, though. LOL

If I need an interval timer I would build one.

If I need a wheel, I would buy one, they do not cost that much:)
