Finally took my Canon 60D out to shoot some time lapse and tried a few sunset shots. Flicker Removal plugin really helped me out on fixing the Av flickers during sunset change! Thanks for that!

Here’s the link to my time lapse: http://youtu.be/PR0VeYZ6k-Q

I’m shooting without an intervalometer and using the EOS Utility for the 5D MkII. Has anyone found a work around for the limitation of shooting at intervals of 5 seconds? I’d like to take it down to 1 second.

Anyone know of any 3rd party apps that might work?

Hi Philip.
Thank you very much for sharing this extremely informative information here.

I suspect you’re already hip to this, but this post reminded me of the timelapse crane. I’m fairly certain all of these clips were shot on the 5DMKII.

hey Philip, thanks for all the helpful info! One thing; would you mind giving the names as well as the links to equipment please, as I find that most of the links on your older posts are broken (e.g. the cheaper intervalometers above). thanks, omar

it lets you set interval for hour min and second, you can set exposure for less than a second in camera but you can’t let it take more than one photo per second if that is what you mean

and why does my intervelometer have an hour, min, and second setting for exposure time?? who would expose a shot for a half hour? or an hour?? and why cant you set the exposure for less than a second????

If I set my camera (7D) up using Aperture Priority as you recommend when shooting a shot with clouds and traffic, how do i get the traffic to have thaat cool motion blur? Because I no longer have shutter control in Aperture Priority mode.?

thanks

Hello Philip.

Would you have a moment and try to answer these questions
if you can, please?

Changing Light

After shooting stills for dawn timelapses,
the exposure, of course, is tricky.

Would you suggest trying aperture priority first?

You are not kidding, it’s a tricky area!

What has worked for you the best for light-changing
timelapse shooting.

For smaller flicker problems on a PC, GBDeflicker seems to work well.

Thank you…Lu
