Hello all,
Finally here is my first serious attempt to a achieve a holy grail in timelapse. Things got complicted because I used an ultra wide angle lens and I wanted both sun and stars in the movie. The result is technically not yet perfect but nice to watch I hope!
The remaining technical problems are (as far as I understand it for now) uneven nd-filter-strength over the cross section, which caused slightly uneven, uncorrectable brightness differences of the images. This may not be a problem in moderate wide angle or tele position, but in ultra wide angle it is a problem obviously.
Beside that there are some small shaking issues that occured when touching the lens for changing the nd-filters (camera was mounted sturdily, but the inner part of the lens allows some movement as I found out after the shooting).
Tips for improvement are welcome!
Music: Nelman Music System, Retro-Secuencia
Some technical data:
Panasonic GH1 with Olympus 9-18 mm at 9 mm and a bunch of ND-filters
Recorded in full manual mode with 1/3 eV-steps
Edited with LRTimelapse, Lightroom, iMovie
