These three videos from Jeff Chen Kuo Chih were captured over the period of several days in the Eastern Sierra. The foreground lighting in the third video adds an almost surreal effect to the night shots of the Milky Way.
It’s worth noting that these were shot using a combination of the Nikon D5100 and Nikon D3 cameras.
While the Canon 5D Mark II seems to get all the attention in time lapse videos, Nikon deserves a lot of credit for the time lapse capablities of its DSLRs. Most of the recent Nikon DSLRs (excluding the very base-level models) offer a built-in intervolometer, which means you can shoot time lapse sequences right out of the box without the need to by a $150 remote as is the case with Canon time lapse work.

Adobe has released an incremental update for Lightroom 3 and Camera Raw 6. This update is geared toward a fix for a rare bug related to JPEG files from the HP PhotoSmart R607 digital camera. Additional details about the bug are available on Adobe’s Lightroom Journal.
Download instructions for the updates on Adobe’s website.
Right now, you can get Lightroom 3 from Amazon for $179.99. For those unaware, Lightroom 3 is a RAW image processing program that makes life working with RAW files so much easier. It also carries a hefty retail price of $300, so getting it for $180 is a real bargain.
If I could only have one photo editing program, this would be it. Here’s the link to the Amazon.com deal page.
