Moonrise On Sunshine Coast
675 images, taken 10 seconds apart. First photo was 6:59pm, Last photo was at 8:51pm. This sequence had a LOT of problems with flickering. I used LRTimelapse to clean up the exposure and then used the three frame blend trick and I still had flickering.

Sunset On Chesterman Beach
The lens was set to 29mm. Photography started at 8:06pm, f5.6 at 1/2500th of a second (under exposed 2 stops, ISO 100) and ended at 10:09pm at f5.6, 6 second exposure, ISO 200. There were 918 photos taken at a 8 second interval. No stabilization required. Exposure compensation in post was pretty easy. Shame there wasn't much of a sunset, but the beach fire at the end really helped. The family did have a metal beach fire basket thing which is required on this beach.

Sunset With Cherry Blossom
I started at 7:03pm at f18 at 1/160th of a second (in shutter priority mode) and ended at 625 frames later at 8:47pm at f6.3 and 6 second exposures. The interval was every every 10 seconds. I haven't removed people from this sequence. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2022 to 2005 > April 2021 > Sunset With Cherry Blossom

Cherry Blossum With City Sunset
This was my second shot at this sunset. I repositioned so I could get the whole tree in the shot rather than just a branch. I didn't bring quite so wide of a lens. This is 745 frames, Starting at 7:39pm and ending at 9:16pm. I think sunset was about 8:15. The interval was 8 seconds and I shot in aperture priority mode because I finally figured out how to set my camera to limit the longest exposure in A mode until it starts increasing the sensitivity. The photos started at f/8.0, 1/160th of a second at ISO 100 (exposure is set to under exposed by 2 stops) and it ends at f/8.0, 6 seconds, ISO 160 (still under exposed by 2 stops) I have manually photoshopped out people walking in front of the camera and a few birds.

Foggy Downtown Sunset
This is 656 frames from 4:01pm until 5:50pm. Exposure at the start was f8 at 1/50th of a second, at end was f8, 4 seconds. The photos are take every 10 second. No stabilization as the camera was on a tripod on solid ground (just outside of the Granville Island Public Market). This is one of the easiest timelapses ever - the exposure is almost linear (the camera made the correct and consistent guesses) and no stabilization required. Fog downtown is pretty rare - it usually happens when we transition from wet weather to cold weather in winter. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2022 to 2005 > January 2022 > Foggy Downtown Sunset

Sunset On Fraser Lake
There is a train on the far side of the lake near the end. This is 366 shots, 15 seconds apart. It started at f18 and 1/100th of a second and dropped down to f5 and 2.5 second exposures. Being this far north, the sun doesn't really set so you don't get much of a sunset.

Mount Baker Sunset From Lions Gate
I started taking photos at 7:52pm at f8, 1/400th of a second, ISO 100. I took 1188 photos until 10:30pm at f8, 6 seconds exposures, ISO 450. The exposure interval was every 8 seconds, ISO is in auto so when the camera hits the exposure limit (I limited it to 6 seconds), ISO goes up. The lens was set to 44mm.

Freighters Under Lionsgate At Sunset
This video took a look of work to get. I tried shooting this once before but the clouds were too heavy which lead to a very blah sunset and I misconfigured the camera (ISO was not in automatic) which lead to a variable interval (the clouds speed up). This sequence is 1064 frames, taken every 8 seconds. I started at 7:51pm at f6.3, 1/3200 (-2 exposure compensation) and ended at 10:13pm at f4.5, 6 second exposures). It was shot in aperture priority mode. I was standing on the lions gate bridge which introduces some challenges. First - the bridge has lights and you can see them start to dominate the park lighting in the last 1/3rd of the video. The much bigger problem is that the bridge moves a LOT. The frames have both a vertical translation and rotation element. I used ffmpeg to reduce the motion, but because this image is dominated by the clouds and boats I had to mask out (using a blur) much of the image so that the video stability detect code could find the motion. The code was:
# Gather the source images into a movie:
There are a few large ships in this timelapse. The first is the Bulk Carrier Kinoura followed by the Island Trader Tank Barge and finally the Bulk Carrier Sunny Hope. There are at least a dozen smaller ships including a police boat. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2022 to 2005 > May 2021 > Freighters Under Lionsgate At Sunset

Olympic Village Sunset And Moon Rise
This is the fill images shot at 28mm. Photography for this sequence started at 6:59pm and lasted 929 frames (roughly every 8 seconds) until 9:02pm. As the sun fell, the exposure the moon became over exposed. Exposure started at f22, 1/400th of a second, ISO 400 (under exposed by 2 stops) Exposure ended at f5.6, 1.3 seconds, ISO 400 (under exposed by 2 stops) In post, I brighten the image, but keep the whites and highlights down. If you expose correctly, you generally get blown out skies and highlights. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2022 to 2005 > April 2020 > Olympic Village Sunset And Moon Rise

Moonrise Over Olympic Village
This is a pretty tight crop out of images shot at 28mm. Photography for this sequence started at 7:42pm and lasted 242 frames (roughly every 8 seconds) until 8:14pm. As the sun fell, the exposure the moon became over exposed. Exposure started at f8, 1/400th of a second, ISO 400 (under exposed by 2 stops) Exposure ended at f7.1, 1/13th of second, ISO 400 (under exposed by 2 stops) John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2022 to 2005 > April 2020 > Moonrise Over Olympic Village

Sunset At Fishermans Wharf
This turned out to be more tricky that I was expecting. This was 998 frames starting at 7:01pm on April 19th (1/400 of a second at f11), ending at 9:14pm (5 second exposure at f5). It was shot at 28mm. The camera is in shutter priority and I drop the shutter time in half again and again as the lighting gets dark. The tricky part was that I was on a floating dock and I didn't realize at the time, but every time I moved, the dock shifted. I used Fiji to register the images, but my Mac only have enough RAM (16GB) to do 1/3 of the video at a time. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2022 to 2005 > April 2020 > Sunset At Fishermans Wharf

Ferry Wharf At Granville Island
This dock is normally quite busy with sea bus customers, but with Covid, that is all shut down. I started taking photos at 7:23pm (1/100 at f20) and ended 621 frames later at 8:46pm (2.5 seconds at f10). The dock is so large that me walking around didn't change the camera pointing angle.

Fort Langley Campfire At Sunset
394 Frames. The exposure kind of falls apart at the end so I had to do the blend two frames trick to stop the flickering. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2022 to 2005 > June 2019 > Fort Langley Campfire At Sunset

Second Night Campfire
642 Frames - started at roughly 1/4 of a second every 10 seconds, ended at 8 seconds every 10 seconds. I used silent mode that prevent you from seeing the exposure as it shoots (but is much quieter. I had to change the exposure on most of the frames to get the exposure to run smoothly and even then it was a bit of a mess. Most of the kids are from the other tent's.

Terra Nova Sunset
This is 334 images, one taken every 16 seconds (mistake #1). The exposure started at 1/4 of a second at f20 and ended at 15 seconds at f3.2. Shot ISO 100 the whole time. I missed 6 images because the exposure went from 15 seconds to 20 seconds so when it tried to reshoot 16 seconds later, it was still taking the previous image. I had to change the exposure. I did that on the command line using lines from a spread sheet like exiftool -Exposure2012=-0.43 DSC_09999.dng . The images are turned into a video on the command line using: ffmpeg -framerate 15 -pattern_type glob -i 'DSC*.jpg' -c:v libx264 -filter "minterpolate='mi_mode=blend:fps=30'" -profile:v high -level 4.2 -pix_fmt yuv420p out_compat31.mp4
