So glad you liked it bro! You know I'm not the worlds biggest patriot but if there's something I'm proud is the beauty of the land where I was born. And the food, the rest... is as bad as you can expect, lol.

Would love to see the horizon on that one, did you crop it?

2d-chris · September 22, 2013 at 7:47 PM

yeah, the movie starts there and ends up with the horizon

you make me miss frankfurt did you do movements in the timelapse and if so - how did you balance them?

2d-chris · September 23, 2013 at 12:10 PM

so, I picked the time about 30 mins after sunset, so it's basically twilight already, then, using full manual (manual whitebalance, exposure and focusing etc) I setup the exposure so it starts capturing a little over exposed, the exposure time is about 5 seconds, so I setup the intervalometer to take a shot every 7 seconds or so, which gives time for the sensor to cool down

After about 160 shots, it's now darker, but still acceptable exposure to work with, sunsets really are a bitch for timelapse, the distance to the subjects is far away, so the movement (trails) are not that long, when played back it looks cool

I also edit the middle frame of the sequence, this gives a pretty good reference point for post processing, then I sync all raw files to the edited frames settings using lightroom, then export TIF's, quite a monstrous process
