Hello folks,
I have a project planned, a sunset-night-sunrise Timelapse.
Talking to various photographers they told me the Pro Timer is THE device to use.
Thus I ordered it. Easy and intuitive controls.
Now for the Timelapse project.
I have a safe place for the camera to setup and shoot on its own, so I’d be in bed asleep during the night.
I’d setup my camera in the evening, setting M-mode, F1.8 and ISO 500.
For the timer I’d use interval of 25 seconds, the exposure time to 20 seconds.
For the sunset-to-night transition I do understand I can add a ramping interval.
Let’s say sunset to full darkness is about an hour, I set 60 min.
This will bring the sun down nice and slowly.
Sunset is at about 17:30h, sunrise the next day is about 08:00h. Makes a night length of about 10:00hrs, if I am not mistaken.
But now comes the mystery in my mind. How would a ramping from night to sunrise work? Does it utilise the previous ramping settings?
Thank you for helping me out here.
Kind Regards
