Time Lapse Photography

Magic Lantern basically replaces the hardware need for a cable release or a grip w/ a interval timer. It also has bulb ramping exposure capabilities (that I haven't fiddled with yet) to adjust exposure for frames that have slowly changing exposures like sunrise/sunsets. I read the instructions bulb ramping and it is clearly something that needs practice to understand how to adjust the variables.

It definitely sounds good, with great options. Does it work only in Live view or in normal mode as well? I recon it eats quite your batteries in Live view?
I was about to try CHDK on my Canon Point and Shoot, but haven't done it yet. I reckon it has pretty much the same possibilities as MagicLantern. I would say dive into that bulb ramping exposure stuff and let us know about it

I agree with your other posts, plan, plan, plan - practice, practice, practice as it just takes along time to set up and wasting that much time is annoying and if it is some sort of eclipse the waiting for a 2nd chance just might be an option.

Planning is definitely the key word in a full time lapse video. The latest Idea I had was to capture sunrise to sunset in my town. Start with sunrise, moving traffic, perhaps a few special buildings and end with a sunset or a moon or something. However it's easier to write down than actually doing it

I did reprocess the stills with a .03333/second transition rate between frames and it smooths the movements considerably.
Looking forward to learning more from others who have worked on time lapse.

I'm looking forward as well. If you get the chance, please post your video here You can very easily embed a youtube video with the " Insert Video" button.

Cool videos. I actually really liked the first video....from the sounds of things, maybe more than you did

Haha sorry for the wrong impression. I do like the shots I have. Otherwise they were trash already It's just that I'm looking very technically now and especially at things I like to do differently next time. At the same time thinking about how I could do that.
In the compilation video there are a number of small fragments. In the other 2 videos the lack of camera movement is less noticeable, because there's plenty of things going on. At least I think so. What do you think?
