Hi all

So with my new Nikon 60 camera comes a new ability, the ability to timelapse! With this in mind I have recorded and uploaded 3 timelapse'd videos of sundews (drosera capanesis's) catching fly's.

   This one was my first attempt. Annoyingly the flickers of light are due to the camera being set to 'auto' which always tries to adjust the sensor.

    This one was set to manual. The changes in light are due to the sun constantly coming in and out of the clouds. This shows less of the capensis leaf curling around and more of the tentacles that go inwards to hold the fly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxG2Z0ytLcY     This one I did today. Its slightly over exposed but the good thing is that it shows the tentacles going inwards to hold the fly and the leaf curling around it.

Enjoy :)

I always like seeing timelapse like this - well done for your time and patience. I wish I had more time to do this.

Poor hoverflies!
