Please take a look and give me some feedback. Especially regarding the exposure (i.e how I can avoid overexposing the early shots and still capture the evening shots without sticking it on auto)?

Cheers
Al

That was cool. I love how you were behind the same car for most of the video. What do you use to compress your photos to video?

If you shoot raw, you can convert all of your frames to jpgs/tifs a few times. First time, adjust all of your settings for images in the start of the timelapse. Second time, adjust for the middle section. Third time, adjust for the end. Then place each set of images on their own video tracks and slowly disolve/fade between them.

You should be able to increase the exposure latitude by a good 1 - 1.5 stops. You can also adjust for color correction this way, so you're balance can be daylight at in the first pass and tungsten in the last pass.

While not 'copping out' to full auto, some people use aperture priority to shoot time lapses.
