Hello!
This is my first attempt at a timelapse movie, which I shot while in the Western Australian outback:

As with most first-timers, I would appreciate any feedback. I had a few issues during shooting and processing, some of which I think I know how to fix next time. The sunset shot was a real pain to process. I was using the holy grail technique, which was fine, except that I found it really hard to match exposures either side of exposure jumps. Or rather, I could match overall (total image) exposure, but usually the colour/white balance and the actual distribution of light and dark on the image was different and these I found hard to match up. Any tips on how to better set up or process shots like this would be much appreciated. I don't have Lightroom, so all of my raw processing was done in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop.
Cheers!
Equipment:
Canon EOS 7D
Canon 17-85 f4-5.6 - this is way too slow for the night shots, but was the only one I had available. Because it's slow, I had to really push the ISO up and control the noise with noise reduction in post-production. Most of the time this is OK, but sometimes it really destroys the sharpness
