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.

St3vv3M,
Thank you for that info. I'll get to it as soon as I can.
Right now, I'm UTMAIA, okay? If you can figure that one out, let me know. LOL

For Startrails, you want your camera mounted on your tripod.
Then set your Intervalometer for long exposures (30 seconds), with storage times as short as your card will allow.
(Hint: I use an Ultra Fast SD card in my D3300)
Set it and forget it for a long while. If you have a good and dry night, set it and let it run as long as your battery lasts. Gather it up in the morning, sweet dreams. ;)

You will want something to put your Startrail together. Just such a program exists and is free: StarTrails

Enjoy! :lol:
