Morning Glories: Failure to open?, 1 by Colderwild

Well, I suppose that this is one of those "learning experiences" that everyone talks about...

I've been all set up to capture the opening of these two really great-looking morning glory buds with the time-lapse rig and webcam, ever since they appeared right next to each other on the climbing pole. Everything looked set to go for this morning, but I woke up to find that the first of the buds had gone straight from "budding" to "wilting", apparently skipping any attempt at the "opening" stage, passing GO!, or collecting $200.

I suspect that this might be due to leaving too much light on it for the camera to expose properly overnight, causing it to miss the "night" and the following "morning", but I'm not sure.

There are still a few more buds to go in this round, but I'm a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to get these two sitting right next to each other.

Still learning...
