Hi, I am about to shoot a "holy grail" sunrise over some pyramids that are some miles away. I am going to shoot with a tele with an equivalent focal length of between 300 and 500mm on a GH4.
My questions:
1. Given the angle of view and the movement of the sun should I stick to an interval of two seconds or go to a one second interval to capture more frames for a smoother look? Would there be too much motion of the sun between captures on the two second interval, especially when the shutter speed gets high? Or is motion blur on the output the solution using the two second interval?
2. I am using the internal camera intervalometer. I can change the shutter speed on the camera during the exposure (just barely when using a 1s exposure during a 1s interval - the wifi app does not allow it) so I can manually ramp the shutter. However, the longest exposure the camera can set manually is 1 second! I will be shooting with a wide open aperture of about f4.5. I assume I should start with a fairly high iso of 1600 and longest possible (1s) shutter speed and ramp the shutter first and then the iso down? Would using a .3 ND be wise or no?
3. Should I just use aperture priority, matrix metering and exposure bias and fix it in LRTimelapse ?
