Quick Note, Very Important to consider that your shutter speed adds time to your interval. Your Interval on the remote needs to exceed your shutterspeed so that the camera can buffer. So if you shoot a 1 second interval, you should probably not exceed .5 sec for your shutterspeed. Also thinking about night sky timelapses, if you leave your shutter open for 20 seconds, that will already add 20 a second interval of motion. Also if you are looking for Day-To-Night tips, no worries, that will be covered in the future! Happy Shooting!

So when you are shooting the Milky Way with a 30 second interval and a 20 second exposure there would be 10 seconds between shots for a combined 30 seconds not 50 correct? I am looking forward to the day to night video. Can you touch on white balance settings going from Milky Way to blue hour to sunrise?

Just had the same issue. Last weekend I tried to do some night timelapses, I used to make 300 frames with 20sec exposure, interval was like 1 sec. I've got only half the frames I needed. Later I understood that the issue was that a camera can't write image so fast. So I need to add some more seconds on the interval...

@@jamiemalcolmbrown If I was shooing a 20 second shutterspeed for the milky way I would tag on 1-2 extra interval seconds for the buffer. So on my remote I would set 21-22 seconds. But if you were shooting a 25 second shutter for the milky way I would set 26-27 on the remote. So it really depends, when I mentioned a 30 second interval that was mainly if you wanted to shoot a 25-30 sec shutterspeed image.

@@lukasjonaitis7925 Yeah and it will also depend a bit on your cameras bufferspeed. For older cameras I would pick a slightly longer interval above the shutterspeed. For newer cameras it is a bit less of a worry and the interval just needs to be a touch longer then the shutterspeed.

Hey Michael, thanks for the great tips. I tried shooting in manual with an intervalometer but at short time intervals (below 6 s) I was not able to adjust my setting. I wonder how you can manually adjust your settings during the timelapse? Thanks for your help.

Here's a timelapse tip: If shooting other than widest aperture on the lens, there can be flickering introduced by aperture blades not closing exactly the same for every shot. A "tiny" flicker, but still really annoying to fix in post/LR/LRtimelapse. To counteract the flicker: 1. Set everything manual, including focus off course 2. Press and hold Depth of Field preview button 3. Carefully twist the lens about half-way from it removing from body so the electronic contacts disconnect, but it is still on camera. 4. Profit N!B! Be mindful and don't forget at end of shoot that lens is not properly attached and it might fall off and break.

Its a great tip and something I plan to do a full video tutorial on, since it can be very finicky. Maybe something for slightly more advanced timelapsers, rather then those just getting started shooting their first timelapses. Although I will say I have not found any Aperture Flicker issues on most of the newer camera systems such as the Nikon850 and Sony A7R series. It was a big issue back when I was using my older Canon cameras though.

Hey man! Quick question/request, no worries if it doesn’t fit into the scheme of your vlogs, but at some point would you consider doing a quick video on the evolution of your gear? Knowing you started your career shooting with canon and now shooting most, if not all, of your landscapes primarily with Nikon, could you explain why it is your preference shifted, and what some of the key differences/components between the two brands were that solidified your switcheroo? For instance I know the Nikon D850 has incredible in camera time lapse functionality that cannon doesn’t come anywhere near touching… So yeah, anyway, appreciate the tips and tricks as always - great vid 👌🏼

Michael, what is the strategy for setting the exposure to high and letting it fall into place? Is there a timeframe in which you utilize that? For instance, do you have a formula that you like to use for when to start shooting at blown out exposure and how overexposed do you usually start?

very usefull, allthough the practice practice and experiment a no brainer is. Have bookmarked this vlog from his royal timelapse highness :-) main ambition shooting from day to golden hour to night.... any specifics on that or advises on vlogs, blogs? Thanks for the effort you put in this making of the video!

I use LR timelapses for shots with pretty drastic lighting changes. I usually just stick with lightroom processing for Milky Way timelapses and make sure the frames look good throughout the timelapse. But I will be doing a video on LR timelapse in the future. :)

If I do a time lapse of the milky way, how much hard drive space is needed? I have a 500 GB SSD for the OS and a 2 TB mechanical drive for my pictures. Should I get an external HD for extra storage? I'm using Lightroom classic and Photoshop.

Can you do a time lapse without a computer?

Came here to basicly hear that its best to shoot in Manual after waiting 2 hours with Aperture priority where the exposure suddenly changed a lot during the sequence ^^

I totally get the point behind shooting RAW 100% but just doing some quick maths, 24 frames a second = 1440 frames a minute, for a 3 minute video that’s 4320 frames, which if I’m shooting an hour long time lapse would seem about right (1 frame every 1 to 2 seconds) problem is I’m shooting with an a7riii which has a RAW file size of about 89mb, 4320 x 89 = 384Gb, I just don’t carry that sort of memory card capacity around with me (I prefer smaller sized memory cards to limit the loss if one fails).

@MichaelShainblum

Well that math is based on doing 1 timelapse shot which would span 3 mins long. But personally that does not make much sense to me. Most people do not have the attention span to watch 1 shot for over 3 minutes straight. The longest one timelapse really should be is maybe 20 seconds if a ton of stuff is happening in that one shot. Honestly most of the time my timelapses are not longer then 10-15 seconds and sometimes when cut into a bigger video they are 5 seconds. When I make a full timelapse video the entire project might be 4-8 terabytes but that is over the course of weeks, months and even years. That project is often 50-100 timelapses. Stored on regular hard drives. Its really rare that I would ever shoot 400 gbs in a day. Unless its some special request of a client to do a really long timelapse like that.

@@MichaelShainblum Ah good point, I guess I was coming from the stance that you might not want to show a 3 minute timelapse but you might want to capture one so that you have options later on, then again i guess one could just be judicial when taking the shots to inclue only intervals where there is something of interest to keep data down. Again for the record, i don't disagree with the tip at all, all my stills are RAW.
