Street photos.
 

I have a wide-angle 7mm lens on an Olympus E5.

I want to take secret street photos.

Is it possible to have a timer on the camera to
take such photos every 15 sec or so, while slung
over the shoulder. Anyone ever done this?

All you need is an intervalometer, you can even get a smart phone or ipad
app to do it these days with an appropriate camera interface, which can even
be by bluetooth.

You could be much more selective by using a radio trigger in your
pocket.

I suspect you would be astonished at the amount of camera-shake you
would experience.

I've done it with a Nikon D300 which has the feature built-in. But
it's just for fun, unless you have a specific target that needs the
automation. As a street technique, it's more for people trying to
hide the fact they are taking photos.


Lot easier way.
