After reading your ebook and watching your tutorials I am just trying to get my head around shutter dragging and the resultant exposure times.
This morning I shot a timelapse from dark to sunrise and started at f2.8 ISO100 and 1 sec exposures (Foreground was lit up with lights). I was using a 5 sec interval. As it got brighter my shutter speed obviously got faster too which is going to produce a very gerky replay.
I understand that for a 5 second interval the best exposure time would be 2.5 secs to give you that smooth transition between frames, but without ND filters I had no chance.
Do you use ND filters during sunrise and sunset timelapses? If not, how do you maintain your shutter drag to ensure you get the smooth flow in your timelapses.
