Time-lapse photography with DSLRs, Four-Thirds, and compact digital cameras, from travel and time-lapse photographer David Coleman.
The Nikon D3500 has no interval timer and no accessory port, so hardware intervalometers won't work with it. There is still a way to shoot timelapse: a free software app over USB, and I cover how it works and where it falls short.
A step-by-step guide to using Time Lapse Assembler to create timelapse video footage from a sequence of timelapse photos.
My name is David Coleman, and this is my site. I take photos for a living. Seven continents. Dozens of countries. Up mountains. Underwater. And a bunch of places in between. I'm based in Washington, D.C.
This site is where I post practical photography help, tips, and troubleshooting.
All posts and reviews on this site are written by me. And I only review gear with which I have personal hands-on experience. By a photographer, for photographers. More about me.
