LRTimelapse Forum

Hi Gunther,

1) Could you post a link to a resource detailing which Lightroom tools are linear and which are not?

When you ramp settings in LRTimelapse, I understand that it is more difficult to parametrize transitions if the tools used in Develop are not linear.

2) Could you add some lens recommendations? Prime vs. zoom, etc.

3) Could you add some filter recommendations?

I got a B+W ND filter that cuts 10 stops of light, but that may not be flexible enough, based on my recent experiments.

4) I know that shooting intervals and exposure times (shutter speed) require experimentation, but could you give more examples and use cases?

Your movies are of great quality, maybe you could share what shooting intervals and exposure times you used for each segment?

5) Do you plan to update your ebook to reflect the new features in LRTimelapse 2?

Thanks and good job on LRTimelapse 2. It's awesome!

In LR4 this isn't so relevant anymore. The controls behave better. In LR3 especially the Blacks Slider caused trouble.

Anyway you might run into trouble when exaggerating settings, for example pulling sliders fully up. Non-Linear in this terms are Blacks, Highlight, Contrast, Whites etc...

No, it's not the transitions. It's mostly the deflicker that wouldn't work as well.

Go wide, Prime vs. Zoom normally doesn't matter. You don't need a big aperture as well (only for Astro).

That's what I often use.

Please check them out in the EBook. And than: make your own experiences!

Sorry, mostly I don't remember that - that would be a bit much of work for me to figure this out.

Yes, definitely!
