450D Time Lapse #2 (HD)

Second time lapse sequence. This time an evening cloudscape starting from around 17:30 local time into full darkness.

If the video plays choppy, try pulling the slider to the start and pressing pause until it's loaded. YouTube's HD transcodings don't play perfectly smooth in general, unlike Vimeo & Co. - gotta live with that.

Nice one,

Try setting the exposures in Manual mode, it wont flicker that way.

[HiAdrian]

Yeah, gotta try that. I have to find a time, when the light is rather constant.

What settings did you use on the camera? Manual everything like WB, focus, shutter and aperture?

[HiAdrian]

"Av" setting: fixed aperture, target EV, automatic shutter speed. WB auto i think, but frankly i hadn't even thought of it at the time.

Semi-automatic modes might contribute to the flickering, but the brightness drop at sunset is extreme, so i don't think fully manual wouldn't cut it.

awesome lapse :)

ever tried using the 450D video software for video recording? not in hd tho..

[HiAdrian]

Yeah i did. In fact my i'll probably use my 450D as my webcam if i ever decide to make YT videos where i need to record myself. Bit clumsy and like you said; not HD, but no extra cost and the image quality beats any webcam i suppose.

Hey, Just saw you're a 450D timelapser as well ;)

[HiAdrian]

Thanks, about 2100.
