Nikon D5200 Time-Lapse Test Decision

I just got my Nikon D5200 back from a friend that was borrowing it. I decided to take it out and shoot some time-lapse to see what the quality was like. I am trying to decide if I want to make this my time-lapse work horse to keep the shutter actuations down on my D800.

Take a look and let me know what you think. Thumbs Up to keep going with the D5200 or Thumbs Down to go with the D800. If you want to see a time-lapse from the D800 to compare let me know in the comments below.

186th PHS Philadelphia Flower Show 2015

These were taken at the 186th PHS Philadelphia Flower Show on Sunday March 8th, 2015. I went to the flower show not knowing what to expect and boy do I know what not to do next year. Never go on the weekend especially when its the last day of the show. There was some serious crowds there. Other then that and getting shoved all around it was a nice day.
These shots were all taken with my Nikon D800 and my new lens Nikon 24-70mm. So far I like how the lens handles. Though I should have tried it out more before going there. It preformed fine, but I still wasn't use to it.

Sunset Time-Lapse shot with GoPro Hero3 White Edition

Sunset shot from my backyard with the GoPro Hero3 White Edition. A lot of cool looking clouds flying through the sky today, so it came out a ton better then I thought it might.
I must say the more I use the GoPro the more impressed I am with it. It was defiantly worth the money and I can't wait to see how it works in the summer with some storms to put it through.

The only down side of using it now in the cold is that the battery does not last too long. I bought the Battery Pack for it which really helps, but the cold still drains them fast. So due to that I don't know how long the battery will last out in the field.

Check out the links below to the GoPro and its battery pack. Think about it, I feel its worth the money.

Photo Re-edit

So I have been playing around with some of my old photos that I have already processed. After learning new "tricks" I have made a few much much nicer then originally done. Here is one of them.

GoPro Hero3 White Version Cloud Timelapse Test

I just bought a GoPro Hero3 White Edition to use for Time-lapse photography. This is a test to see how it works and what the quality is like. So far its not to bad. I still have more tests to try on it though.
There is some sun flare on the right side in the video. I couldn't tell with the app due to the sun so that is something to watch out for. I also bought the Tripod mount kit so I can set it up and leave it running when I have other things to do.

I'll do a review on the GoPro later on.

I am still field testing my new Tamron 70-300mm lens and also working on a video for it but till I get all that figured out here is a couple shots I took Yesterday. The one with the Turkey Vulture is cropped but still looks good.
