Hi Mark.
Thanks that's very kind of you. Yeah I do do it a bit seriously, I sell them online, but not nearly enough to make a living out of it.
I have never had problems with the camera getting hot. There may be an issue with the shutter. My camera has an expected shutter life of 100,000 photos. As a timelapse photographer you get through a lot of photos. I rekon I am at 180,000ish with no problems yet.
I have got a showreel of Himalayas timeplase I will put up here when I finish it.
Thanks
R
