Starscape /star trail time lapse attempt

[RedSpectrumPictures]

I had a second attempt at shooting a starscape time lapse. I took advise from last time, such as shooting with a wider lens (18mm instead of 50mm).
I am aware the time lapse video is very short, I want to back out tonight and do another star time lapse because I really enjoy producing them.
I also put together a startrail photo which I am fairly proud of.
The flicker on the tower is from cars driving by, I am not sure if I like the flicker, but I guess it adds character to the image.

You should also post this at timelapse.org. They have a lot of timelapse tutorials and videos. (I guess the domain name sort of gives that away!)

Awesome thank you! I will have a look

I made another time lapse last night

A had an attempt at shooting clouds today. Thoughts?

Lots of flickering. You might check out this thread on timelapse.org for software (free) that can help to remove it. And here's another piece of ($) software: http://timelapse.org/2012/09/lrtimelapse-the-holy-grail-video/

Thanks I will check that out

Your composition is very nice indeed. Get that flickering smoothed out and they will be great.

Great program you may want to check out is LRtimelapse Free for smaller clips

Thanks

Less flickering in the attempt I had today

Went out again today, quite a lot of changing sunlight as you can see from the shadows in the video. I didn't get any flicker though as I twisted my lens off

you could grab an ND grad filter for those landscape shots like the last one, or even a polarizer could saturate up those sky colors

 

[RedSpectrumPictures]

Thanks Darren, I am thinking about investing in a polariser filter, my friend uses one so I might ask to try it out

Apart from it being very short again, this is probably my best star time lapse attempt. I feel I am ready to start shooting much longer time lapses at night now

This was my first attempt at stars. Hard to do from my condo, since there is a lot of light pollution. Love all the time lapses posted here!

Im trying to set up to film stars also with my GH4.

Can I ask you how do I set these up? I only just bought my GH4. Want to figure out also how to adjust shutter speed to 25 seconds.

Thank you
