So I recently picked up a Canon 50D from a brother on this board.
I'm no aspiring photographer, but the price was right and I want to be able to take a good picture with a good camera for posterity sake. {All you professionals, please don't rip that statement apart} I've got the standard lens that came with it (18-55mm) and I just picked up a cheapie Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 telephoto lens. The unit also came with a macro lens for the 18-55mm which is fun to play with. And I plan to pick up a fish-eye which will also be fun to play with.
So without having to read all 264 pages of the manual, can anyone give me a cliff note version of how to take time lapse photos?
I'm headed to Jamaica in a few weeks and will likely be afforded several Western views over the Carribbean Sea of late afternoon/early evening distant thunder/lightning storms.
In my head these opportunities will make for some excellent photos.
Any help is appreciated.
