Thanks for your response. I read somewhere that capturing multiple frames and then process them in Lightroom is more professional but that could just be an opinion. However, there is a problem I face while rendering them in Lightroom, whether to finish it at 24fps or higher. I realised that 24fps gives me a bit messy video. Sometimes get stucked on how to fix the problem. I appreciate your input.

Thank you! My camera is a D300S so I use the built-in interval timer to shoot the time lapses. I used all kinds of different settings, depending on the situation. But I always use manual mode with the aperture wide open. If the aperture is not wide open there can be aperture flicker (which you can see in my video in the scene with the Nevada mountains). I do shoot everything in RAW format and then process all the frames in Lightroom. Then I export the frames as smaller jpegs and create the video in Premiere.

I should point out, though, that some clips in my video were just shot as movies and then sped up. When possible, I'd rather shoot a 5 minute movie and just speed it up than waste 300 shutter cycles.

Hi SBK, I love your time lapse, its awesome and has a beautiful background music. I am a huge fan of doing time lapse. Did you use a timer remote for the shooting and subsequently imported the shots into Adobe Lightroom? What camera and settings did you employ for the shooting? Thanks and congratulations once again for the excellent work.

If anyone is interested, please watch my time lapse compilation video I made a while back... (it's not all time lapse, it's a mix of various shooting techniques)

Please watch HD, full screen if you can! Don't forget to turn up the volume!

Thanks!
