![]() ![]() It’s easy to overexpose a sunrise shoot in S-mode, so bring an ND filter. The ultimate quality will be lower, as your camera will choose a wide aperture and higher ISOs at some points of a changing light sequence, but with a great camera and lens combo, you can hardly tell. Especially when shooting on my full-frame camera. If the scene requires a smooth progression of time in changing light, I will tend to favor the S-Mode, usually with auto-ISO as well. If you prefer a more constant progression, shoot in shutter priority instead. Experiment to find the right middle-ground. If you trust your camera, you could also choose auto-ISO.Ī-mode will result in sunsets that increase in speed as the light goes down, as the required exposure time will increase. You can choose to under- or overexpose with exposure compensation, which is useful in order to prevent blowing out the highlights or to keep the shutter speed short or long enough, depending on what you wish to achieve. You set your preferred aperture, then your camera will choose a suitable shutter speed based on the light remaining. My preferred setting for shooting sunsets is the A-mode, which stands for aperture priority. More importantly, it’s time to choose a fitting camera setting for your shoot. It’s good to understand just in case though. Especially since your exposure time is going to change as the light is going away. To be honest, I dislike doing math with a passion, so I never do more than a basic calculation. So be sure to set your interval times accordingly. If you want to make a 6 second movie of a sunset that takes one hour, you’d need to record 25×6= 150 images in that one hour. ![]() But if you’re recording a sunset timelapse, you need to consider that a sunset takes about an hour. If you’re recording a simple scene with no change in light, the interval you set almost doesn’t matter. ![]() If your movie is going to be played at the standard 25 fps, then naturally every 25 images you add is going to extend your playback time by exactly one second. This will take some trial and error, and if you like doing math, that will be a benefit.įirst, some simple math. It’s important to use the right settings for a scene at hand. If you own an older DSLR, then that is what you need to first purchase. If you own a modern camera body, chances are you will already have a timelapse setting or app built-in to your camera, so you don’t need to buy an intervalometer.
