I'll I do is set exposure to bright enough for the bulk and choose a step size. I no longer need to guess the exposure range. I'm playing with it on 5D3 now and it transformed bracketing, well made it quite simple. Would I be better off buying a dedicated intervalometer or save some pennies and use ML?Īre there any other "secret tips" with the 6D that's worth knowing? Loving it so far, still waiting for my lenses to arrive though. Timelapses and star trails is something I plan to do a lot of and I was wondering if magic lantern on the 6d is worth it considering you have to use an outdated firmware? Magic lantern requires 1.16 but canons most up to date one is 1.19. I used Magic Lantern all the time on my 550D mainly for the intervalometer.

All in all I've spent about 1.5k on a camera and some lenses I've always wanted. A Canon 70-200 f2.8 and a nifty fifty 1.4. I've also ordered various lenses, a Tamron 28-75, not what I wanted but it will do for now. I always wanted a 6d for its low light capabilities and I managed to get a body only for £300 and it's got less than 10k shots, win win. Since then I'venot had anything and with getting the bug back recently I've been "splashing out" one some new (to me) kit. I didn't have anything insured and then the obvious happened, my stuff got stolen one day when I stupidly left my bag unattended. Until about 3years ago I was quite happy with my 550D and kit lenses from taking pictures at night to high speed flash work at home. Ok, we all know it's not the most recent camera out but it's great for my needs.
