[QUOTE="unkyjohn, post: 53274, member: 8606"] Jake First of all many thanks for the great reply, you've obviously given it a bit of thought before! 1. My intention is to merge the images into a video. I tried a similar thing last year with my D60 when we had a tree cut down in the garden. I took a series of shots manually as the guys brought the tree down and used a programme called startrails to merge them. It turned out ok so I thought I'd try it again with the D7000. 2. As I said earlier I plan on using it for a 4 hour long journey which is mainly motorway/highway roads, but I did another trial run on Sunday morning for an hour with 15 second intervals - however the roads were pretty quiet at that time so there's no real continuity to the shots. Again I set it to SCENE sport which took care of focusing ok but with a wide aperture usually in the f4 area - I'll add an image below. As you suggest I will shoot more frequently next time. 3. This point is more difficult for me to decide on. As I am shooting out of the back of the car blurred images don't seem to be an issue as the camera focuses on whatever is behind me. I will have to try setting it manually as you suggest and see what happens. I may try shooting through the side window later on which will introduce movement and blur once I get the hang of it. I have not ventured into shooting RAW yet so will be using JPEG FINE, I have a 16GB and a 8GB card installed so there should be enough for the journey at 8 second intervals, will the battery last? [ATTACH=CONFIG]10203._xfImport[/ATTACH] I've included this one as there is plenty to focus on, the blur in the bottom lh side is the wiper motor 35mm lens Exp 1/800th F Stop f/3.5 Aperture Value f/1.7 ISO 800 Metering Pattern Finally it's great to hear from someone who lives in the land of "The Boss" one of my dreams is to see him perform in his hometown, maybe one day :) Till then I settle for any UK dates.
