Sunset to Sunrise Time Lapse Movie

Time-lapse photography: 1 frame every 35 seconds from 8pm to 8am. +1.5 stops over-exposure (for better stars)
Full moon rises around 11pm, giving the illusion of sunrise. (You can still see the stars.)
Fog overcast comes in around 3am.

QUESTIION: what video camera did you use? I'm thinking of getting an HD camera with a time lapse feature so was that a time lapse camera or did you edit it on a computer? If it is a timelapse camera, which one?

[argv01]

@buca100 it's not a video camera--it's a still camera. Each frame is taken automatically using a timer, and the frames are stitched together using a movie-maker program.

is it just me, or was that a very short night?

[argv01]

@MrMusicoutloud it was a full moon, and the "over-exposure" setting on the camera makes it look like day. But you can still see the stars, giving it a rather surreal effect.

0:28 - 0:33 comets or planes?

[argv01]

@arx320skater planes -- comets fly far too fast to capture. Remember, these movies are 30-second exposures, and the movie is 30-frames per second... it took several minutes for each plane to fly by.

1080p like national Geographic haha

how you got it, that there's no flickering? I tried to capture a sunset timelapse with my 550D, but it failed and the flicker appears. Any tips?

@argv01 Hey there, I've got a question. Was it really that bright in the night or just the over-exposure setting? Because I've tried using my camera to take pictures in the pitch dark night, but it can't seem to capture the stars.

@argv01 What type of camera do you recommend for this? I just got a new camera for Christmas but Im not sure if it's the right kind of camera for it.
