Discussion with the Photographer:
1. I hear day to night transitions are tricky to get right. Any tips for newbies?
The entire timelapse was shot on aperture priority and fixed ISO. It’s important to make sure that you set a combination of aperture and ISO that will allow the camera to take shots at the brightest time of day without hitting the camera’s fastest shutter speed limit, and will also not require a shutter speed longer than the timelapse interval when it’s dark. This was shot at f/5.6 and ISO320. Fastest shutter speed was 1/2500, slowest 6 seconds.
2. What is that band of light seen traveling down the tower at 0:02 and again at 2:05?
It is a reflection of the setting Moon.
