Some questions I would like to ask: 1) How do I avoid the bright blue line that is recorded (noise?) during the big change in contrast when the sun rises? 2) What compositions would be interesting? E.g. school, office area? Also since I'm going to be working solo (and am lazy to be under hot Singapore sun) the easier the environment the better hehehe. The next time lapse I'm intending to do is one of a macro view of traffic while the sun sets. Hope to finish that by next week.  | ||

you would need to film twice as well; before sunrise: long exposure or open aperature, after sunrise: short exposure or closed aperature. right now its going through one setting for the entire sequence. try the off center method and see if that'll work for one continuous shot. | ||

Get a better camera. T-T Sadly, that kind of banding is an artifact of CCD sensors - the read lines run vertically and oversaturation from a bright source at one point will cause smearing (the proper term for the effect) where the saturation will bleed all the way to the top and bottom of the sensor, creating a vertical line like you see. Cameras with CMOS sensors do not suffer from this effect. Sadly, CMOS cameras are either in one of two categories - cheaper than cheap garbage (like webcams) or rather high-end new-gen CMOS SLR cameras (extra expensive). | ||

Im loading another onto youtube that i just took, and lesson learnt is: don't mess with the composition after starting the vid On June 05 2010 06:59 M155_G33k wrote: haha those are pretty cool. Do you do these video things just for fun or is it more into it then that? Well originally it was just done to test out the camera's cool functions but as I found out more cool things to take e.g. clouds and moving traffic/people I'm actually considering covering areas of my country and making a national-themed compilation =p. Wonder if the other SG TL'ers will be interested in this. Purely a non-profit project =p @jgad: So SLRs will have CMOS sensors? perhaps some examples off the top of your head? Just wondering cos i was thinking of getting a DSLR and this combined with my sis's wedding should make a good enough case to get one this summer =D REREREdit: | ||

I've got a Nikon D40, for example, but it's a CCD SLR - i get banding if I point at the sun too. Otherwise CCD often outperforms CMOS unless you're paying a lot for a high-end camera. If you want the best place to get info on cameras, check out www.dpreview.com: DP Review - Feature Comparison -> sensor = CMOS, body = SLR, plus anything else you want. If you're looking at entry level, you'd probably want something like the Pentax K-7, Nikon D5000, or Canon EOS 500D. Those are all in the $500-800 range, depending where you buy. | ||
