Day to Night timelapses with the sun in the frame are tricky, but not impossible :)

I think that the essence in your video is when you said "The best way for you to learn how to properly shoot them is to go out, try and shoot and fail until your learn every single secret about it and feel more comfortable shooting them". Very well said. Thanks for the video.

[@EmericTimelapse]

True! 🫡

[@frtimelapse866]

Super, comme toujours :)

[@Jonny2won]

What about Auto ISO or Shutter priority ? Would that work? Thank you!

[@tastyham]

not my random 150k people city being in a 3 year old 27k views timelapse video lol, nice timelapse of Angers!

[@EmericTimelapse]

Je suis d’Angers donc ça aide ! 😅

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Great information's, thank you for sharing!

[@nrlondon7959]

Thank you for your awesome video. A few days ago I did a time lapse of the setting sun over an amusement park in Utah. I actually used Arsenal Intelligent Assistant and it actually did a decent job. The cool thing was after the sun set a small crescent moon entered the time lapse on its way to set. Unfortunately, my battery ran out before it set. I wonder how hard it is to plan a time lapse with the sun and the moon? I also did a full moon time lapse and I ended up with a pulsating moon. Would that be caused by changing settings? Again, thanks so much for your videos.

[@Juan-v3f9h]

Do you need a special lens filter to protect my a6400 camera when recording the time lapse of the sunset?

[@EmericTimelapse]

I usually shoot wide when facing the sunset, so with a quick shutter, I don’t think it’s an issue. Never had any problem! I sometime use a polarizer but that’s it. ND could work. Will shoot a video about this very soon!

[@NaorGershon]

I just wanted to ask this too. I have a sony zv1 with an electronic nd, should I turn it on?
No need for uv protection?​@@EmericTimelapse

[@h-dawg969]

Can u recommend a decent tripod that’s sturdy enough whilst being a decent weight for carrying around on your back?
I’m using one I borrowed off a friend at the mo, and it’s a really sturdy and good tripod but it’s a huge and really heavy video tripod so it not portable at all really.it’s deffo overkill for me. I’ll use it when I’m trying to film specific stuff like wildlife or surfers but I need a more portable tripod for time lapse, long exposure and focus stacking etc.
The lenses I use most oft is the Tamron 17-28 or the sigma 100-400, occasionally the 90mm macro, and on a a7iii body.
Do you have any hands on experience with the K & F concept tripods?

[@EmericTimelapse]

The Manfrotto Carbon Fiber I use are awesome, super light yet really sturdy. You can find the reference on my website here emerictimelapse.com/my-gear

[@h-dawg969]

@@EmericTimelapse thanks for that. I’ll have a look now. ;)

[@hyperslavk8306]

Great tips!
Always waiting for your Timelapse Tips Tuesday!

[@carlosorganista]

What color temperature do you recommend using for sunrise and which one for sunset?

[@Moriningland]

Probably a K of around 5500

[@MartinBernierPhotographe]

Toujours instructif ;-)

[@ray_notes8170]

It's there any danger to mirrorless cameras shooting time-lapse of the Sun? It seems the lens of little more than a magnifying glass zeroing in on the Sun to make a very hot spot on the sensor, which seems like it would damage it. Any experience in this area?

[@EmericTimelapse]

I work with DSLR, but I have a feeling if you keep fast shutter speeds and shoot with wide angles you should be fine. Don't zoom into the sun and shoot super long exposure, that's probably not a good idea.

[@ouamoulton6743]

Hi, there. I have a question. When I shooting sunrise/sunset on my iPhone 13. There’s a large reflection half ball flying around, why’s that? And how to avoid it??

[@EmericTimelapse]

That is probably a Lens flare, there is nothing you can do about it!

[@hebinosss1085]

i really love your stuff nice work on your website! greetings from austia!

[@s.cebeci9362]

thank you for sharings. you are best teacher. :)

[@romainb9451]

What setting and method can use a Lrprotimelapse (the device) for day to night timelapse? He over expose too? (you can answer in French if you Want but English is for all :).)

[@EmericTimelapse]

I usually just use the Pro Timer from LRTimelapse in Manual shooting and just work on the camera for all the settings and exposure settings. The Pro Timer is only your intervalometer.

[@MarlonCabreraOliveira]

What about use aperture mode ? That can help with the flickering?

[@EmericTimelapse]

Av mode will still create sun flicker, but definitely a little less visible than M mode. I will always shoot in M mode to keep full control over any camera settings though.

[@XDR2201]

With the sun in your shot, will it damage the image sensor?

[@NaorGershon]

Hey, did you find an answer?

[@celeno31]

Merci pour tes tutos Emeric

[@janmzb]

I had trouble with this in the beginning, would have helped me back in the days :)
Thank you for this TTTs!

[@EmericTimelapse]

Glad it helped!

[@kappanko627]

beautiful

[@NardoG4s]

Salut Emeric, merci pour ce tuto très instructif.
Pourquoi de pas mettre un filtre GND assez puissant le temps où le soleil est fort visible ?

[@EmericTimelapse]

GND filters ne marchent pas forcément pour les villes avec tous les buildings. La différence entre le ciel et la skyline n'est pas toujours une ligne parfaite comme dans des paysages. Mais ça pourrait fonctionner dans certains cas !

[@fireislandmavic5939]

sensational

[@Pasxos100d]

Thanks for the tips !!

[@EmericTimelapse]

No problem!

[@nextsteptahiti8222]

génial

[@JohnSchneyer]

Thank you Emeric. Valuable as always.

[@EmericTimelapse]

Glad you think so!
