Hello Gunther and world,
thank you for developing a really solid working platform to assist in making timelapse videos! I've been watching videos online and trying to learn the tools. I could use some pointers and would appreciate any guidance, links to appropriate resources, und so weiter. I am something of a newbie to this process and really hope to improve.
Here below are links to two videos shot yesterday morning using qDSLRDashboard linked via WIFI to a Sony A7iii with a 15mm lens (no option for aperture ramping). I used the Holy Grail option with the NTC2 adjustment on the ipad 6. The Sony was triggered with a Saatechi intervalometer @ 6 second intervals. I forget the ISO ranges.
I downloaded and installed the LRTimeLapse 5 program and muddled through the processes, finally figuring out the pass back and forth to LightRoom via the metadata saving and reloading.
The first video seems to either have a focus issue, or a depth of field (focused on stars using f 2.8) issue - hopefully, I can resolve that being more careful with focus or using a different f stop in the future.
I was more happy with the first resulting video (shot @ f2.8) : https://youtu.be/GbuLpkcwn-U
than the second (shot at f 8) : https://youtu.be/yWuIISRL7h8
The second one seems to have lost the transition from twighlight to sunrise. I tried remaking it several times, but it strikes me as being much more bland than the unprocessed raw files might suggest.
I look forward to learning from this forum and thank you for the opportunity to present my videos and questions.
Chris
