    Lowepro dryzone 200

    Re: Need Openion, I have Nikon d3100, Help me to buy a Flash for it ? Here is a quick edit of one of your low res jpg images. It is not perfect but details what you can do with what you have, I would maybe suggest a black background and see how that looks as well.

    My first timelapse

    Here is a timelapse that I did the other night, it was for around 1hr and all processed within the D800 except the wave sounds and title which was added in imovie. Wasn't a bad first attempt, but not being able to edit the photos left it a bit bland. Maybe next time I will go later and use...
