Time-lapse in the Dangaster Wadden Sea
The photographs were taken in the years 2014 to 2017 at different times and sun positions.
Shots in the Wadden Sea prove to be extremely difficult. Due to wind and weather and the strong current (about 4m tidal range) it is almost impossible to find a safe position for the cameras. It is very much post-processing necessary.
Due to the many movements, the use of long exposure times is almost impossible, but they are necessary to smooth the water to some extent. As soon as the water touches the feet of the tripod, it will vibrate.
The post-processing is very complex. First, the individual images must be aligned (image registration). Then I run a median on the images to eliminate birds and individual events. Finally, I smooth the scene by averaging several pictures (motion blur).
The pumping of the sun in the last scene was unfortunately not completely eliminated. But thanks to Gunther help, reduce it significantly.
