Another fun side use of this is to catch lightning with long exposurs (clearly only useful at night-time). Stormy outside? Point your camera in the general direction, set it to manual and just have the TC go at it and take 15-30 second exposures non-stop until your card fills up or your battery runs out.

Image stacking is all I've heard of to date. Our sky is so dark and chock full of them, you'd think it would be easy. -/\/ As bud kuenzli once said, > > > >I intend to use it for macro shots and some night photography. > > Then the TC will be just the ticket.
