Prev week
what video software do you use? Also for the night shots, how long are your exposures?
Been wondering how to catch the same movement, but always shows up as a blip in one frame. Thanks for the tips!
Very nice work. We shared it on the LA Times facebook fan page (facebook.com/latimes) where it's getting a nice response.

From my own struggle with flicker I bet he's locked it off at 20sec for the entire TL. If there were an additional few seconds at the end the frame would probably wipe completely white, even at the very beginnings of the sunrise (way before the sun is even visible).
If you find a post-method that is really worth it I'd love to see it!
There is flicker removal software. Philip Bloom shoots his time lapses in AV mode and uses a plugin in Final Cut in post. Seems to work great for him.
It's $40. Seem pretty cheap. I'll probably check it out for my next shoot.
music sounds like it's Sigur Ros.
I have gathered from reading the posts that you did NOT apply any NR in post. You said you simply scaled the 21MP stills down to 1080p? Did you shoot RAW? Process in Lightroom? Im curious because 6400 ISO on the MkII is pretty noisy. Also you said you set your lens in manual mode. Since you have the 16-35 L did you just slide the lens to manual focus? There was very minimal flicker as well. How did you accomplish this? I am just stunned at the results. I have tried this setup many times with horrible results, hence the probing questions. Overall awesome work. Any Q's you can answers would be great. Cheers!
Yes at 100% it is fairly noisy. I definitely wouldn't make large prints from it.
I did shoot all raw and that helped a lot. Processed in Photoshop. Shot in full manual, including lens in manual focus.
If you look at my past videos, you'll see I had my share of flicker issues. I haven't had time to narrow down what changes I made this time around to eliminate it: shooting in raw, shooting in manual mode (instead of bulb and let my timer set the exposure time), and very little light interference from passing cars, etc.
amazing.........
