Update - February 2015!
This video has now been 're-mastered' using Adobe Lightroom to develop the camera RAW files and LRTimelapse3 software to reduce the jumps in exposure caused by the transition from day to night.
Final video was assembled and edited in Photoshop CC.
I've really been bitten by this time lapse / stop motion photography bug, and here's my latest effort.
This video shows the view over Conway, taken from the overlook at the end of the Sychnant pass, as dusk falls and the lights come on.
I managed to cure one of my exposure issues for this sequence in that I didn't use an ND grad on the sky in the early shots, but I'm still not happy with the somewhat jerky changes in exposure caused by my manual adjustment of exposure times in 1/3rd stop increments every 4 or 5 shots.
Can anyone help me with some advice on how to do this better? I'd be very glad to hear from you at my usual email address howie@gohowie.com.
