Hi,
There is a building about to be put up across the road from my office. A rare opportunity to do a TL of a full construction site from the warmth of my office.
My question is, given the changes in lighting and such, what are the best settings to use?
Right now, I've set up a Nikon D300s to shot one frame every 3 min (which is probably WAY too many frames as the project will run over at least a year).
I've tried these kinds of big projects in the past, and have very varied results...
Right now:
ISO 1600 (fixed)
White balance - Sunlight - and fixed
Exposure - on AUTOMATIC exposure - and is VARYING with every shot - which is against the typical TL shooting I've done - usually I hold this fixed, but given the day-to-night, I'm just not sure what to do - as well as the daily condition changes w/r/t rain, etc.
Focus - MANUAL - and fixed.
Can someone critique these settings for me and if needed, please suggest better settings for a good result?
Thanks in advance.
Steve
