Hi Gunther

First of all, many many thanks for the brilliant software that helps us neatly with our time-lapses of construction site escorts.

Since our cameras take pictures every day around the clock in 10 minute intervals and on the construction sites only during the day what happens, it would help us significantly if we can take pictures out of the night with a filter based on the shutter speed.

Unfortunately, it also happens regularly that our SLR camera does not remember its time and therefore filtering by time is difficult, if not impossible. Also, of course, in winter it's usually dark around 6pm and in summer it's not until 10pm. So filtering over 70,000 images still requires a lot of manual work. A filter based on the shutter speed would reduce this significantly!

Would be great if you could think about this.

Many greetings from southern Germany!

IMHO best solution for something like this is to control the camera with a timer that allows periodic timelapse, like the LRT ProTimer. you can tell him to make pictures every day within a certain timeframe, e.g. from 07:00 to 17:00.

Also you could use the luminosity filter in the long term filters which is specifically designed to filter out very dark or very bright images. You cam even combine this with the reference area and other filters. Check out my long term tutorial on https://lrtimelapse.com/tutorial/advanced
