Sunrise Timelapse - How can I get more uniform result next time?
Hi, I just gave my first try at a sunrise using Panasonic GH5. In looking at result using unedited RW2 files imported into Final Cut Pro and saving 30 fps .mov, I think I have a ton of post processing to do in order to give the video a more uniform look.
Here is what I did:
- One photo every 10 seconds
- ISO set to constant 200
- Aperture set constant (I think I set to 10 or so)
- Shutter then adjusted in camera automatically
In playing this sequence back, I see sudden changes in exposure. For instance from 0:00 to around 2:10 it gets progressively lighter. Then from there to about 4:00 it starts getting darker as sun is nearer to rising and sky is becoming red. From 7:29 to 8:00 a big sudden shift with 8 sec, 0th frame quite a bit brighter than just one frame prior. WTF?
Tips for how one can do this sort of timelapse but get more uniform results? Thanks

Timelapse of a comet traveling through space
On November 3rd I captured comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-atlas) when it was a lot fainter and farther away from Earth than when most people photographed it around mid-October.
It's now drifting away from us and it won't be back in 80,000 years (if it ever comes back). Can't wait for next time 😁
Getting a decent looking timelapse was a challenge because of its weak apparent magnitude at around 6.1. I ended up with tons of flicker even with minimal editing, so I made it black and white and used local flicker in NeatVideo to make it a little smoother. The timelapse was captured over a couple of hours and simply put together as an image sequence in Premiere Pro.
The final image is a stack of almost 1 hour worth of integration time. I stacked it the "normal" DSO way so the tail is lacking detail and I ended up with stacking artifacts in the nucleus which I had to fix in post. Not the best result I could've dreamed of, but comet processing turns out to be hard.

looking for a time lapse camera recommendation for install on a farm?
Hey!
I do agriculture research, and I am wanting to install about 10 time lapse cameras throughout a farm to get photos of the crops growing. I have very little knowledge on cameras, so I am hoping to get some advice on which ones too look at.
certain things that I am needing from this camera are:
must be weatherproof (will be out under rain and/or irrigation, temperatures ranging from 1-40 degrees C)
long battery life. Ideally would be up for the entire growing season without having to change battery (about 3-4 months)
Capability of being able to control remotely, although this is not a necessity.
readout that can be done via usb or, ideally, sim card to access photos remotely.
Thanks!

I'm looking for an iOS app for my Iphone 16 pro that allows me to shoot timelapse while having complete manual controls.
Hi, as written in the title I'm looking for an app for my Iphone to shoot timelapses with complete manual controls. The one in the default camera has fixed value that you can't edit in any way.
Paid or free it doesn't matter.

A moon compilation. Everything captured from my bedroom
Some of the timelapses I've captured of our Moon the last couple of years. Probably the most common celestial object to photograph, but I still find it very interesting and fascinating🌛
These clips are cut really short to fit the "reel standard" and are just fractions of all the moon shots I've taken. Behind this lies thousands of photos and many hours of capturing, planning and editing.
Made with LRTimelapse, Lightroom and Premiere Pro. Some shots are tracked with @sky_watcher_official AZ-GTi and SAM.
