The timelapse is complete. 8000+ frames, 100GB of images, over 10 hours of shooting and 2 hours of render. The mountain and the milky way

Nice timelapse, thanks for sharing. Which lens did you use on your A7? I just bought one and trying to remove flickering on timelapses from day to night, I can't lock the aperture and it will flickr. Any experience or solution for that? 
Thanks in advance

 

Cheers,
Alfonso

Very nice indeed!

 

Thanks guys!

The day scenes are shot with 28-70 kit lens, and night scenes are with a Nikon mount Samyang 14 2.8

 

If you use aperture priority, it should lock aperture. For flickering you can try using a plugin like MSU deflicker. Motion blur takes care of flickering to some extent

I noticed that on my a6000, when shooting timelapse using the app, the color will shift from frame to frame and create a sort of flickering effect. It's extremely tedious to correct.
I'm not sure why this happens but maybe if we draw attention to it it's an issue Sony can fix. It is especially pronounced when shooting the Milky Way. I see it in the video posted here as well.

How many batteries required for such a long shooting??

I was quite frustrated when I went on a starscape trip with friends.
While I have already spent 2 out of my 3 battery pack, my friend's D810 still have 50% left of his 1st batteries pack.

I carry two spare batteries. A 3 hour shooting sequence burns through one battery. I guess on newer cams you can charge while shooting, so just attach a powerbank

Always shoot RAW with APP. That is the best way. Use locked settings(M mode) also helps

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
