Wonderful work!!! Would be great if you would explain a little how you do setting up the sharpness? Your photos are from foreground up to background amazing sharp. Do you use hyperfocal distance or just setting to infinity? Thanks✌️
2 Things, 1 - using a wide lens makes your hyper focal distance larger, so shoot wide. 2 - He used aperture priority with it set to f9 which is a relatively high fixed aperture.
I have just uploaded a terrible sunset time lapse -- LOL -- BEFORE watching your tutorial. So now that I know my mistakes (which was pretty much everything!!), I have watched your video and will try again when I have a chance. Thank you for your very specific recommendations and tips!
Syrp I followed your advice and made a wonderful sunset time lapse on July 1 for Canada Day! Picked a good foreground as you suggested and used a ball head rotator for a slow pan. Forgot to turn off auto exposure, but it is still pretty good. Your critique would be appreciated...Beaver Lake Canada Day Sunset. Thanks in advance!
I'll have to watch this at least one more time but this had a lot of super valuable information for me and I feel like it adresses a lot of the things I experienced was bad with the timelapses I've done.
This is the best video I've seen on this topic! Great work! So to make sure I understood correctly, if I don't want to adjust the ISO myself, shoot in Aperture Priority rather than manual but keep everything else how it is? 1.6" / F9.0 / Iso 100 - It will then just adjust the Iso for me and keep the Shutterspeed and F stop? With F9 a lot is in focus by default but I'm assuming you probably focused on the house with "wide"? Thanks a lot!
In this time-lapse he did not go into night enough to need to remove the filter. Had this gone through to night time the filter would definitively need to be removed however this is difficult to achieve without significantly disrupting the camera.
Hey there, the photos are shot in a RAW format (instead of JPEG). With greater amount of information in that type of file, Morten can extract more light from the shadows and dim the highlights.
When editing, you only edited a few images. I'm assuming at some point those development settings were pasted over to the rest of the images, but when? Was it during the reading/saving of meta data or did it happen in the special timelapse program you used?
The special program (lr timelapse) does this for you. With this program you edit selected keyframes, then LR timelapse will create smooth transitions between your keyframes.
Hey Craig, if you're referring to Genie Mini, Bulb Ramping/Exposure Ramping is coming in a future update to Genie II. Until then it needs to be done by hand. Currently the Genie Mini won't be getting this feature as it does not have the connectors required to connect and perform camera control.
It would work, you would need to de-flicker using LR time lapse, however depending on your camera and exposure metering method it may give you unpredictable results. Best thing is to just test it!
I don't see the point of not using the apperture priority. If you want longer exposure you include the ND filter what you did. Then, it is still applicable to use apperture priority since it will automatically increase with the ND filter.
PhotoPills is great for sun travel, moon travel, milky way travel.. it also has "augmented reality" so when you are on location you can hold your phone up towards your composition and see EXACTLY where the sun, moon, milky way will be traveling overlaid with an image of what your phones camera sees. You can also change the date to future times when scouting out. On top of all that I really like their calculators for long exposure, etc..
North of west in summer (in the northern hemisphere, south of west in the southern hemisphere summer). South of west in the winter (in the northern hemisphere, south of west in the southern hemisphere summer). It's complicated 😉
Paul Harding hi Paul Morten sets it up on manual and changes his iso. But later he mentions if you are not shooting long exposures to add motion blur for water or grass then you could just use aperture priority instead. There are many different ways to achieve the final result in this case manual and changing iso throughout is the preference. Hope that helps
I'm happy with how I used my Syrp Genie Mini, this was simply a test for something much larger that I'm planning but I love it so far! - th-cam.com/video/Jdbc8Nsjst8/w-d-xo.html - This is one I did in Downtown Los Angeles
This video is just AMAZING
Glad you enjoyed it Jonny!
This Guy is great.
I have a half dozen of his Tutorials in my "Editing Tips" Playlist.
Syrp, thanks for introducing us to him.
Very good tutorial and great tips. I like that you don't waste time on useless chatter. Straight to the point. And great photography too.
STUNNING...
Thanks for these helpful tips! 😁❤️😎
No problem!!
Loved how it is done
Damn man! We were doing a physics BSc together with the timelapse!
Impressive work
Wonderful work!!!

Hi Don, nice work glad you got out there! Bummer about auto exposure but the more you shoot the more you'll remember the little things - thanks!
AMAZING video so well explained, this will help me shoot for my channel better. THANK YOU
I'll have to watch this at least one more time but this had a lot of super valuable information for me and I feel like it adresses a lot of the things I experienced was bad with the timelapses I've done.
Great ty for tutorial ! but am i missing someting ? you are changing the iso while sun rising ? or vice versa ? to keep exposure in a point ?
Good job!!! Stracaz di Good Job 👍

Thanks a lot!
For it to control the ISO in Aperture priority you need to set the ISO to auto. Otherwise it will adjust the shutter speed.
hand down, your tutorial is just amazing. You got a sub sir
This guy deserves an award😅😅😁😁😉
Hello! Wondering your thoughts on why not to use auto iso?
Love the tutorial....
Could you please make a separate video for LR time laps. I am pretty confuse that section
We don't have one in the works at the moment, but am sure we will have one eventually...
Is better to set all in manual and just increase the ISO or aperture priority and than adjust the flickering if i must shoot a landscape timelapse?
Super helpful .that looks like a great tripod too
Genius!
Great Video - Very helpful
Great tutorial.
You started out with an ND filter to give the ong exposure during daylight, but did the nd filter remain in place into the night??
In this time-lapse he did not go into night enough to need to remove the filter. Had this gone through to night time the filter would definitively need to be removed however this is difficult to achieve without significantly disrupting the camera.
@@SyrpLab was he tweaking this variable nd filter to gain more light as it was getting darker? so he would compensate
Very nice and helpful video! Thank's man. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the many detailed explanations.
Great technique, thanks for the excellent job on this video. A lot of work, I really appreciate that!
Thanks for sharing, great tutorial~
As ever great tutorial, thanks
how do you keep the foreground bright enough? at the sametime not not over exposing the highlights?
Hey there, the photos are shot in a RAW format (instead of JPEG). With greater amount of information in that type of file, Morten can extract more light from the shadows and dim the highlights.
Nice! 04:36-04:45 Svolvaer?
How many times do you typically change the iso? Do you find that it creates noticeable jumps in the final video?
I think the end of the video is the answer to your question. We can see it on the graph and he explains how to make it smooth

Lucas Hutchinson Awesome, time to get LRTimelapse!
You can't do exposure ramping with this tool, you still have to do it by hand?
Hey Craig, if you're referring to Genie Mini, Bulb Ramping/Exposure Ramping is coming in a future update to Genie II. Until then it needs to be done by hand. Currently the Genie Mini won't be getting this feature as it does not have the connectors required to connect and perform camera control.
@@SyrpLab thanks. I will wait.
Do you use ND filters when shooting timelapse like this ? And if yes, what kind ? Thanks in advance.
In this tutorial Morten use the Syrp Super Dark Variable ND Filter for his time-lapse
Can someone help clear one thing? He sets the shutter speed to about 5-7 sec and the syrup to rotate 30 deg in 2 hours. How does he avoid motion blur?
How much shutter speed
Would using auto ISO with set parameters work smoothly?
It would work, you would need to de-flicker using LR time lapse, however depending on your camera and exposure metering method it may give you unpredictable results. Best thing is to just test it!
I don't see the point of not using the apperture priority. If you want longer exposure you include the ND filter what you did. Then, it is still applicable to use apperture priority since it will automatically increase with the ND filter.
One note, when he says "save the metadata".. He presses "read metadata".. Make sure you don't mix those two up..
name of the app ti predict the sun travel?
Photopills, it's expensive but amazing for time lapses. Recommended.
PhotoPills is great for sun travel, moon travel, milky way travel.. it also has "augmented reality" so when you are on location you can hold your phone up towards your composition and see EXACTLY where the sun, moon, milky way will be traveling overlaid with an image of what your phones camera sees.

On top of all that I really like their calculators for long exposure, etc..
Won't variable ND filters cause an X mark on the photos?
nisi? nah, try Tiffen
Awesome
Thanks!
Do you have a more in depth tutorial how you did the lightroom and lrtimelapse it went a bit too fast to follow... Thank you
HI, check out one of our other tutorials at the end there are more details about lightroom and LR Timelapse th-cam.com/video/BZD8KxkITw0/w-d-xo.html
How is he adjusting the ISO manually without touching the camera during the shoot?
He was adjusting the camera by touching it during the timelapse. Mortens interval is 15secs so plenty of time to change ISO between movements.
Very good, I like it, but my English is too poor, but i got a lot knowledge n ideas, thank you
Why are you setting keyframes to the frames before and after exposure adjustments? That's unnecessary, as LR Timelapse does that for you.
That would be a question for @RustadMedia :)
I thought getting a college degree was hard:o)
"Face the camera towards the sunset, usually West" - usually ;-)
Actually it's wwn
North of west in summer (in the northern hemisphere, south of west in the southern hemisphere summer).
South of west in the winter (in the northern hemisphere, south of west in the southern hemisphere summer).
It's complicated 😉
I'm worried about shooting sun timelapses, would that damage my camera? I use a sonyrx100m5.
i'm at the second unit and it still skips frames. bad product. i thought manfroto is better than this
Sorry you're having a problem Alin - could you reach out to us directly? support@syrp.co.nz
👍🏽
Spot should face the sunset, USUALLY west :D
Very confusing..... You started by saying it's important to shoot in manual - a minute later you say to shoot aperture priority ,
Paul Harding hi Paul Morten sets it up on manual and changes his iso. But later he mentions if you are not shooting long exposures to add motion blur for water or grass then you could just use aperture priority instead. There are many different ways to achieve the final result in this case manual and changing iso throughout is the preference. Hope that helps

hallo, schöne Aufnahmen, gut gemacht, freue mich auf deine Besuch auf meinem Kanal grüße Wolfgang
"...should face towards the sunset, USUALLY west........." but not always, no sir
You were a tad faster this time !
well if the price wasnt 300$ then it whould be realy nice
