Good morning all.

*First of all, apologies if this is the wrong section*

I tried my first "proper" bit of time lapse last night, and looking for some feedback.

Forgive the nudge halfway through. I made a change to the aperture. I later made another change to exposure, which I managed not to move the camera, nor does it look like it was required (apart from giving longer headlight trails).

Settings used:

Exposure: 2 seconds
F-Stop: 5.6
ISO: 200 (I'm sure I set it to 800, but the file metadata say 200, so I must have not clicked ok)
Interval: 5 seconds

Where the nudge is, halfway through the video, I changed the F Stop to 5.0. The reason for a couple of nudges at the same point is that I initially went the wrong way and changed to 6.3

Towards the end, I changed the exposure to 2.5 seconds, but looking at the editing, I don't think this was really required. If anything, it has given slightly longer light trails.

-----------------------------------------------

Please, don't hold back on the critique.

One big question I have is - why do the streetlights appear to be pulsing?

Also, does it look too fast?

Thanks in advance,

Mat
 
I like it, well done. I have no idea why the street lights are pulsing, if your shutter speed was much faster then I could understand it because of the 50Hz AC electric supply but 2 seconds should average that out.
