sunset time lapse - Timisoara

[Valentin Arfire]

hello friends

I have tried another time lapse - I believe its place is here

I hope you'll enjoy
here is the story

was made of 210 photos with Canon 5D / Canon 24-70 (at 70 mm) between 20:50 and 22:00 on Sunday evening here in Timisoara;

due to the difficult light conditions there are still unbalanced slides

I made a first resize at 1200x900 and some color correction, then made the slideshow in a program in linux then brought all in virtual dub in windows



to be brief, after 4 hours and some reboots I started to remember how it works and obtained a PAL decent animation, but youtube changed my choice of music (Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Trilogy) with another masterpiece

another time-lapse - I believe better than the first - this was made out of 642 pictures

Valentin!

Interesting concept. Now you might think about carving your own signature in this. consider, for example, adding duplicates of certain interesting frames so that the birds or boats are therefor much longer. You can also batch change contrast as time goes on so one can progressively change the time to sunset.

I'd want to have a video editing program to be able to key elements and then cheat, cheat, cheat and then do it again!

and from the afternoon

I am only beginning so only now I've discovered how easy life becomes when shooting AV - the light will remain constant; only the processing of the pictures is somehow more complicated (in my workflow I make corrections on the images in DPP and then enfuse 2 images - one overexposed and one under to get the most details in the light and in the shadow)

I worry for the life of the camera's shutter. 850+ actuations, ooer!

actually there are only 663 in this one
but I don't worry for the Canon 5D shutter
