Don't intend to use MC-36 in wet conditions! Nor my precious D800, so plastic bags aren't needed.  The stainless steel clip and bracket on the tripod worked perfectly, not done a long exposure in the dark yet so I can't tell how visible the LED will be from a distance.

Well, the clouds got the better of me and there don't seem to be any clear night skies in the next two weeks.   I spent the time wrestling with iMovie, really frustrating software, which DOESN'T 'just work', you can't even save, or make versions, let alone 'Save As'.  I really need Premier or something less hobbled than iMovie but the cost is prohibitive.  Just realised, (remembered) Photoshop does movies, animation etc. will try assembling the frames through Ps later... It's a bit rudimentary but for a simple time-lapse it may work.

I have managed to cobble together a short video, a time-lapse of the Duddon Estuary during sunset.  I should have let the camera run for another hundred frames but I think it get's the message across.  It's just that the clouds were just getting really active as I cut at 200 frames, just as they were starting to boil.  The trouble is, watching the action in real time you don't notice the interesting activity develop.

I have accounts on Vimeo and YouTube, also Flicker, but I don't think Flicker do video (Which would be a bit odd given their name!), I can't find my Vimeo acc. details, I'm not keen on You Tube, (Google) so I will go and see if I can upload it to Flicker.
