Nice, I enjoyed that! You say you're only an amateur but although there are a few rough edges here and there, there is plenty to like about this collection and it represents a huge amount of effort. I think the cloud shots were most effective. Were you using a Syrp Genie or similar there too? I don't think it was listed as equipment but I noticed that you did some pans and tilts...

I recognised Ed Alleyne Johnson's music immediately by the way - my ex used to have one of his albums I'm actually a composer in my spare time as well as a videography enthusiast, so in theory I should never be short of music for my videos - in fact, that's one reason I want to shoot time lapse; because it will make for an interesting music showcase...

Anyway, thanks for sharing!

Excellent news on the A77, better news is I get paid Friday and can finally buy LR Timelapse----then I'll be picking your brain Macronencer.
Also thanks for the kind words on my effort
Next week were hiking to a mountain top with an old firetower on it...I hope to do a startrail photo while there.
