Collecting images over Velicky Pleso lake for an infrared timelapse, using the converted D80 and the much-adulterated intervalometer. Clearly some sort of hanging loop (or just a patch of Velcro) would be a useful addition to the intervalometer. It annoyed me to have to let it drag on the ground or (with the tripod at full height) to risk dangling it from the D80's remote jack even for a moment until I could loop the cable around one of the ball-head knobs. It worked, though, which is the important thing. Was very pleased not to have had any trouble with the intervalometer at all. Did discover that I need a faster-access card in the D80 if I'm going to do RAW images at an interval shorter than 4 seconds, but any card I had could handle JPEGs at the intervalometer's shortest (1 second) setting.
