thank you so much for this in depth process, I really enjoyed it. I have just ordered a GoPro to try and take night lapse from my high rise in NYC against Brooklyn Skyline and I am thinking if you can recommend me about what shutter time and ISO when shooting a night lapse against a skyline? Later I would also like to take photos more slowly and for all of winter but maybe 1 photo every 5min. But then I must totally change shutter speed and ISO for it to work between night and day, or is that something that is possible to schedule, so depending on time it uses a special setting? I guess that feature is not available :)

(Settings RAW Picture as you recommended in this video 20secs at ISO 400) Thanks

@GreatDayForAHike

Thank you. Unfortunately, there will be some flicker in time lapses due to a few different factors sometimes. Rapidly changing lighting conditions or a bright part of the frame relative to a dark part of the frame can also cause this flicker. Several types of artificial lighting can also cause flicker. There are some tools out there that can help resolve this issue in time lapses but they have a bit of a cost.

Hello: I have been following your Night lapse directions with my new Hero 10, but I have a couple of questions; What is the largest SD card that the Hero 10 will handle? I ask this as my camera seems to overwrite files. What format should I use to format the card, and is there a setting somewhere in the camera to prevent this? Or, is it possible to have the camera just shut off or stop filming when the card is full? I cannot go nearly all night...I am using the Anker power bank that you recommend. The camera is taking beautiful photos, just not enough of them! Thanks for your excellent channel!

@GreatDayForAHike

Жыл бұрын

All great questions. The Hero 10 can support up to a 512GB MicroSD card. The recommend cards are listed here by GoPro: community.gopro.com/s/article/microSD-Card-Considerations?language=en_US It is recommended to always format the MicroSD card in the GoPro. Just make sure you have all files off the card first that you want as formatting will erase all data on the MicroSD card. The camera should stop filming when it is full. If data is being overwritten on your card by the GoPro then this card could have some type of hardware problem. Thank you for your feedback and support!

Love your videos! Question though, why set interval to auto? In the beginning of your instruction you direct us to set it to auto. Later, when you start your editing, you mention the interval being set to 30sec vs 15sec for space saving and storage card capacity. So is auto better or setting a 15/30sec interval? Thanks!

@GreatDayForAHike

Жыл бұрын

I appreciate your feedback and great question. I should have been a bit more clear on this when using that interchangeably. If you set the shutter speed to 15s and the interval to auto the GoPro will automatically default to a 15s interval. With a 30s shutter speed and an interval of auto it will default to 30 seconds. Therefore interval is not needed in those situations unless there is a situation where one does not want the shutter speed and interval to match which usually will be for daytime time lapses only. However, if one wanted to do a 15s shutter speed with a 30s interval that would be fine, but a shutter speed of 30s and an interval of 15s would not work due to the shutter speed being longer than the interval.

Thank you! Your videos are really helpful.. Noob question here, you talked about overheating in high resolution in another video if recording for more than 20 minutes. Why didn't it overheat here?

@GreatDayForAHike

Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your feedback! Great question. So firstly, I have never had any of the GoPros I own overheat to the point that they turn off except one of them where I purposely set it up to fail in conditions that would cause it to overheat and power off. In normal usage such as this I have had zero overheating issues. With time lapses the camera is capturing one frame every few seconds or in the case of a night lapse one frame every 15 or 30 seconds in most cases. A GoPro should not ever overheat to the point of turning off during a time lapse or night lapse because this is a very light workload for the camera.

Thank you for putting this guide together. Just recently tried these settings myself during (Waxing Gibbous 92% Moon), the moon turns out really bright and causes a glare. What would you suggest to correct this? I've got the video uploaded to my channel (Its Video Format, but Picture format was doing the same with the moon)

@GreatDayForAHike

Жыл бұрын

You can bump your ISO down to 400 and set your shutter speed a bit lower. 5 or 10 seconds for instance. This will help the moon look better but you will not capture many stars due to these being features in the sky with less light than the moon. However, if the moon is the focus of your night lapse and you want to capture the moon with proper exposure then try the settings I mentioned above.

Having a bit of trouble... I took 405 photos with the same exact settings. Edited everything fine in Lightroom, exported as JPG, etc. When I import into premiere pro, my sequence is less than a second. Super quick. I followed everything, made sure I chose image sequence etc., and verified that the folder selected had 405 photos, which it did. Maybe I'll restart all over again, but I expected at least half the time duration you got for your clip!

I think I might know a possible solution. Do your file names cross a 1,000 increment at any point in their naming? Ex: 1997.jpg, 1998.jpg, 1999.jpg, and then 2001.jpg. The naming convention when capturing these on GoPro will usually skip anything ending in at least three zeros. So what you have to do is go back and import the additional photos starting with the file that starts the next sequence. You can then place this second batch on the timeline next to the first batch for a continuous sequence.

The Volta is a good option for a power source.

This is a great question. I have tested these settings-and many variants of them-with the Action 4 and found the Action 4 to not get even close to as good of results as night lapses from the GoPro.

The Action 4 night lapses lack a lot of detail and do not seem to pick up on many celestial objects with the exception of the very brightest stars/planets. For night lapses, the GoPro is my go to action camera.
