Beginning January 1, I'm going to be taking one shot a day from our sunroom looking out on the golf course we live on. I did this last April and then assembled the 30 shots into a time lapse. It turned out interesting enough that I thought I would do it for the entire year of 2019. I'm going to setup on a tripod and will be using my Nikon D7000 backup camera with a kit lens of 55-200, set on Aperture priority at around f8. Any thoughts out there about setup or the best time of day, or any other ideas? When I did the time-lapse in April, I was able to squeeze the 30 shots into about 7 seconds of play. We had a couple of snow storms and thaws in that time that were kind of fun to see in a quick time-lapse.

Sounds like an interesting endeavor. I am just curious as to why you had to mention "kit lens"?

So it will be a shot a day from the same spot. Good idea. I look forward to the final product.

Kinda Sorta did this a while back. Took photos of the rising sun at the equinox's. Set up the shot to catch a small portion of our porch's rail and nearby landscape when shooting down the 774 yard par 4 fairway. Gave a great sense of depth when using an appropriate HyperFocal focusing setting.

I think it would be fun to set the hour so that you could see the progression of sunrise or sunset. Maybe starting a few minutes after sunset or before sunrise, then showing the progression through the year?

I've always wanted to try that myself....

I'll second this idea. I tend to shower at sunrise and my window faces southeast. As the year progresses, I can see the sun rising behind different landmarks as it marches north and south as the year progresses.. I often thought it would be a great idea to capture those sunrises in a series of photographs taken from a fixed point of view.

Why not shoot more than one frame a day; Morning, Noon and late day?
