The whole clip took just over an hour to shoot and produced 1141 frames.

A Lee 0.6 Soft Graduated Filter was also a part of the setup. The sequence was shot on a Nikon D3x with a 20mm f2.8 attached. The sequence was shot when I started playing with the CamRanger and MP-360 robotic head for timelapse. Now, using the develop section in Lightroom allows us to correct individual frames so that even if the actual exposure between two frames is different, they can be made to look identical with clever use of the development sliders.Ī quick note on the Companion Video on Vimeo. This is when individual frames are exposed differently and create a flickering effect in the final video. Essentially, what you are trying to get rid of in your final footage is something called ‘flickering’. It is possible to shoot in Aperture Priority but the cleanest results tend to be when the original footage was short in manual. As the timelapse progresses you need to take a look at the exposure (setting your camera to image review mode is a good idea in this regard so that you can keep an eye on the histogram).

The basic stipulation is that the camera be set to RAW capture and manual mode.

At first I avoided the software as it is not cheap, but soon relented and my time-lapse clips improved as a result. The software is designed to work in conjunction with Adobe Lightroom or Bridge, but as the name suggests, it works best with Lightroom (and is compatible all the way from LR4 through to CC/6). This is fine if you are shooting only stills images, not so good if you have 300 still images that you want to join together into a piece of video footage called a Time-lapse.Įnter Gunther Wagner’s incredible piece of software called LRTimelapse. Take a second frame with a slightly different exposure and it comes out ever so slightly lighter or darker. Essentially when we capture a single frame the exposure is for that one frame. The problem of course is that stills cameras were never designed to do video in terms of ramping exposures. Thanks to digital and the abilities of RAW capture we are now able to create incredible sequences of footage with astounding clarity and detail. There is a growing interest in timelapse amongst stills photographers around the world. Example clip and companion video available on this link
