Update: Thanks so much for all your comments! I am reading them all and enjoy them a lot! I am sorry I can't reply to all of you. I am traveling at the moment and only have internet access once in a while. I hope to get to all the questions eventually. Thanks again!
A collection of time lapses I took around the San Francisco Bay Area roughly shot over the period of one year.

what settings do you use for the night shots ?
It depends... I am always shooting in full manual mode and then adjust the exposure as the light changes. I take care of the "jumps" later in post. The exposure really varies depending on the shot. For example a bright city needs shorter shutter speeds then fog illuminated by moon light. The shutter speeds ends up being around 4-5 sec with the aperture wide open and high ISO settings. This way I get to take a picture every 5-6 seconds.
Thanks again!
Thanks
Kudos!
:-)
Wondering if you were set to manual, or in aperture priority mode, and smoothed out the flicker with a plug-in?
I am always shooting in manual and adjust either shutter, aperture or ISO as the light changes. The noticeable jumps in exposure I clean up in post. I also use a plug in to help me get rid off smaller flicker between frames.
Would you mind sharing some of your technique? I would be interested in your setup for the night shots. Lenses. Exposure times, ways to handle the changing light etc.
yes of course. I'm using a Canon 40D with either the canon 10-22mm, 24-70mm or lately the 70-200mm lens attached. The night shots take a little while to capture all the light. For example the fog waves hitting the hills was shot at ISO 640, f/2.8 and I believe 4sec shutter speed. As the light changes I just keep adjusting either one of these settings. Usually it's a compromise of "ok I guess I can tolerate a little more noise, but get to capture more frames... " :-)
I hope this helps. Thanks again.
But as the light changes I also change the exposure on the camera and then take care of the jumps in brightness between frames in post.
Totally worth the 3 minutes and you other work on your website is great as well! Cheers!
the sea above our heads
Not sure why...made my eyes water.
In a good way.
Just lovely.
Thanks again! You guys rock!
Yea I know, it totally took me off guard as well. I did not expect this at all. It happened right in front of my eyes but I didn't notice it until I played back the time lapse... The fog really just seems to "ride" the air currents. Like a leave on water.
if you have any suggestions for improvements. I would love to hear them from the master!
haha, luckily SF has some hills like Mt. Tam and Tilden Park that are tall enough to stick out of the fog...
I think m&m's are up there...
