Quick Note, Very Important to consider that your shutter speed adds time to your interval. Your Interval on the remote needs to exceed your shutterspeed so that the camera can buffer. So if you shoot a 1 second interval, you should probably not exceed .5 sec for your shutterspeed. Also thinking about night sky timelapses, if you leave your shutter open for 20 seconds, that will already add 20 a second interval of motion.
Also if you are looking for Day-To-Night tips, no worries, that will be covered in the future!
Happy Shooting!
So when you are shooting the Milky Way with a 30 second interval and a 20 second exposure there would be 10 seconds between shots for a combined 30 seconds not 50 correct? I am looking forward to the day to night video. Can you touch on white balance settings going from Milky Way to blue hour to sunrise?
Just had the same issue. Last weekend I tried to do some night timelapses, I used to make 300 frames with 20sec exposure, interval was like 1 sec. I've got only half the frames I needed. Later I understood that the issue was that a camera can't write image so fast. So I need to add some more seconds on the interval...
@@jamiemalcolmbrown If I was shooing a 20 second shutterspeed for the milky way I would tag on 1-2 extra interval seconds for the buffer. So on my remote I would set 21-22 seconds. But if you were shooting a 25 second shutter for the milky way I would set 26-27 on the remote. So it really depends, when I mentioned a 30 second interval that was mainly if you wanted to shoot a 25-30 sec shutterspeed image.
@@jamiemalcolmbrown If you were doing a long term light change timelapse, I would leave the WB at daylight and change it in post using LR timelapse.
@@lukasjonaitis7925 Yeah and it will also depend a bit on your cameras bufferspeed. For older cameras I would pick a slightly longer interval above the shutterspeed. For newer cameras it is a bit less of a worry and the interval just needs to be a touch longer then the shutterspeed.

Some killer tips there but you know that camera transition enrages me!!!!!
and it makes me laugh every time :P
That train time-laps is sick!
Thanks for the tute Michael. I needed it. I've done 2 so far, and was needing to know how to get the choppy out of them. Big thanks to Gavin as well, for guiding me to you. I follow his antics here and in Facebook. You guys are great. Thanks.
Hi Michael, it’s great to see these tutorials from you. I hope that you will make more of these especially editing tutorials and tips would be great. Best regards, Thomas
Really glad you are planning to release more videos, I've been following your work for a long time and I've got to say your night sky images are crazy good and I am really looking forward learning how you plan, capture, edit and the stories behind the scenes! :)
Thank you! I love shooting time lapses with my iPad/iPhone. I’ve been doing it for years now. 2 years ago I tried to do it with my DSLR. Pretty hard. Not so automatic... But as you said... Just do it!
Wow! Love your time lapses.
I’ve watched this several times. Extremely valuable info here. Thank you very much.
Solid advice Micheal - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this Dude. Awesome video and great tips. Been trying manual for day to nights with Canon, I've had some success for others not so much due to impatience. I'm realizing that I just need to spend more time experimenting and actually shooting
Thanks for all the heads up information, great knowledge!
Rewatched this a few times. Very helpful information. Thank you!
"Practice, practice, practice."
Thank you for the wonderful tips! 🙂👍
Awesome timelapse tips! Thanks Michael!
great stuff. Thank you!
yooo thank you for this video. You explained how to make time lapses the best out of anyone I tried to watch.
Thank you, Michael!
The sunset shot at the end is awesome. And high-five velcro, that and duct tape best inventions ever
Tape is always helpful, I try to have a roll of gaffer tape on the side of my bag at all times :)
Awesome you just posted this , I literally just ordered gear for shooting time lapse stuff in the near future .
Great tips for beginner timelapsers. If you are looking for ideas for more tutorials, I'd love to see an advance TL one, maybe even with tips on how you use the Dynamic Perception slider for those unique shots like the camera going though the fence in the NY film.
awesome, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge :) I was always attracted by timelapses, but knowing how much work and knowledge is behind a proper timelapse, is at the moment big obtstacle for me. but the time will come :)
thanks micheal .. timelapse is amazing
You have inspired me to add more timelapse into my vlogs. Love it. The Bellagio fountains were brilliant.
Awesome! :D Actually that shot was done in Dubai, but its the same people who designed that fountain.
Thank you for your inspiration, I am a big fan of your amazing timelapses. I just made my first one ever a few weeks ago, still working on it but it looks promising, thank you for your tips, I'll think to use a slighter slow shutter speed for the next ones !
Great video from the timelapse master! And that timelapse at 6:32! 🤯🤯🤯
Nice tutorial, Michael. TY!
Heat that was really nice. All good stuff I've heard from others but you boiled all the goodies down into a nice presentation my man.
Loved this! Thanks so much
Great content Michael! You have a great work bro 👏🏻👏🏻
Really love and appreciate the insights, Michael - It's been helping me a TON with my own timelapses

You’re a wizard Harry🤯
This is super helpful! Thank you Michael
thanks Michael....!!!!
Awesome stuff, this inspired me to get back to taking time lapses
I am really glad to hear that Andrew, get out there and shoot some killer stuff!
Thank you!
Thank you for the tip about the Autofocus Off
Actually thank you for all tips! ❤️
Great tips
Thanks for great tip.
Great tips!

Thanks for checking it out :)
thanks for this!
Thank you MIchael
This was helpful. thank you!
Thx man!
Muito boas suas dicas, principalmente na transição Dia & Noite, abraço.
Good stuff Michael! Thanks for sharing man! More bloopers on every blog! Ha 👍🏽
Hahaha glad you liked them!
Super Helpful video buddy! Would love to see more timelapse tips and tricks videos like this! :)
I like your last tip very much,😀
Great tips! Thanks 🙏
Thanks man, hope all is well!
For time lapses where you want to capture a sunrise or sunset a good camera that can help you fix exposure while you shoot is the Lumix lx100
Thank you ,grrat
Birds are a nightmare haha. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all.
very usefull, allthough the practice practice and experiment a no brainer is. Have bookmarked this vlog from his royal timelapse highness :-) main ambition shooting from day to golden hour to night.... any specifics on that or advises on vlogs, blogs? Thanks for the effort you put in this making of the video!
Hey Michael, thanks for the great tips. I tried shooting in manual with an intervalometer but at short time intervals (below 6 s) I was not able to adjust my setting. I wonder how you can manually adjust your settings during the timelapse? Thanks for your help.
thanks for posting this video. Being a newbie I am trying to learn as much as I can.One question I do have is: Should I lock the mirror in the up position? I have heard it goes to reducing shake in the camera a little bit. Thanks
Very useful tips 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤓✌🏽👌🏽📷🇲🇾
How did u that birds trail in Oregon? Just fast shutter speed? Awesome video.
oooh postroll!
Oh man wonderful work
Thank-you from Germany
I have a old Camera 📸
Lol''
Revue reflex.. But no comparison.. 😅
Michael, what is the strategy for setting the exposure to high and letting it fall into place? Is there a timeframe in which you utilize that? For instance, do you have a formula that you like to use for when to start shooting at blown out exposure and how overexposed do you usually start?
Very helpful video! I'm new to time-lapse photography and would like to give it a try. What software do you use to process the images into a video file?
Nice
But you are so good at them
Hey man! Quick question/request, no worries if it doesn’t fit into the scheme of your vlogs, but at some point would you consider doing a quick video on the evolution of your gear? Knowing you started your career shooting with canon and now shooting most, if not all, of your landscapes primarily with Nikon, could you explain why it is your preference shifted, and what some of the key differences/components between the two brands were that solidified your switcheroo? For instance I know the Nikon D850 has incredible in camera time lapse functionality that cannon doesn’t come anywhere near touching… So yeah, anyway, appreciate the tips and tricks as always - great vid 👌🏼
I see your video and very amazing
Thanks for this vid! One question - how is time lapse when it comes to battery life?
Here's a timelapse tip:
If shooting other than widest aperture on the lens, there can be flickering introduced by aperture blades not closing exactly the same for every shot. A "tiny" flicker, but still really annoying to fix in post/LR/LRtimelapse.
To counteract the flicker:
1. Set everything manual, including focus off course
2. Press and hold Depth of Field preview button
3. Carefully twist the lens about half-way from it removing from body so the electronic contacts disconnect, but it is still on camera.
4. Profit
N!B! Be mindful and don't forget at end of shoot that lens is not properly attached and it might fall off and break.
Its a great tip and something I plan to do a full video tutorial on, since it can be very finicky. Maybe something for slightly more advanced timelapsers, rather then those just getting started shooting their first timelapses. Although I will say I have not found any Aperture Flicker issues on most of the newer camera systems such as the Nikon850 and Sony A7R series. It was a big issue back when I was using my older Canon cameras though.
Thanks so much for the quick tips man! Do you have a premium timelapse tutorial in the works?
Indeed I do! :D
Hi Michael, I enjoyed your video, Can tell me, how can I do evolotion of plant growing, how can I do time lapse ?
Hi, do you use any filters for shooting sunset for example? What is your recommended time interval when shooting the sunset? Thank you
Excellent tutorial Michael! Looking forward to your Oregon with Gavin vlog. Any recommendations on memory cards for time lapse shooting?
I use Sandisk extreme cards, I try to get cards that are at least 90mps. I also have some XQD cards for the Nikon d850 which are super fast.
Great, thanks!
Hi Michael, I've been trying out some timelapse trying to use the intervalometer on my Nikon d850 but both times I've put it onto auto ISO for changing light going from sunset to night but auto iso hasn't worked ☹️ what am I doing wrong? Would really appreciate some help 😊
What about using auto ISO for day/night shots?
Hi Michael, do you ever use a slider? If so any affordable recommendations?
If I do a time lapse of the milky way, how much hard drive space is needed? I have a 500 GB SSD for the OS and a 2 TB mechanical drive for my pictures. Should I get an external HD for extra storage? I'm using Lightroom classic and Photoshop.
Great video Michael. Quick question: how to handle aperture Flickr caused by Nikon G lens in say F8 or any mid aperture?
I had aperture flicker on my Canon camera awhile back, where I would do the lens twist method for every shot (which I will make a video on). However on my D850 I have never gotten aperture flicker and haven't had to twist the lens. I usually shoot less then F8 as well. I try not to go past F6.3
Thanks Michael for taking the time to reply. Your channel is a true gem.
Wait, what you put on back to stick it to tripod, mine is always hanging :D
Tomorrow I have a time-lapse schedule, let's see how much I can implement.
Do you use LrTimelapse? If so have you made a post process tutorial for MW? I am wondering how to get a good process of the MW and have it in the TL (brush won’t work). I’m thinking the circular marquis tool and do the key frames?
I use LR timelapses for shots with pretty drastic lighting changes. I usually just stick with lightroom processing for Milky Way timelapses and make sure the frames look good throughout the timelapse. But I will be doing a video on LR timelapse in the future. :)
Tips for Timelapse of flowers? Seedlings to flowers is the goal
Do you use any GoPro 'S or Osmo Pocket timelapses???.. what's your opinion on these camera timelapses?
I just bought the Osmo Pocket for vloggy stuff. I will do some timelapse tests soon. :)
what about WHITEBALANCE? Will you set this to auto or do you have any tip for a certain WB to set?
White balance wont matter unless you are shooting Jpeg, I usually just leave the camera on daylight for most stuff. White balance for shooting RAW is mainly just to reference colors while you are shooting, but can always be changed in post.
Came here to basicly hear that its best to shoot in Manual after waiting 2 hours with Aperture priority where the exposure suddenly changed a lot during the sequence ^^
Hi, is it possible to shoot day to night timelapses on manual mode ?
possible but u have to be there when u need to change the exposures so in short its difficult i usually use wide open aperture , of 2.8 or what ever ur lens have .. and auto iso
@@stanglova86 thanks for very good tips sir :)
Hi friend goodluck 🤝🇲🇨
Can you do a time lapse without a computer?
But have you ever cloned out motion blurred birds because that is even more annoying!
Awesome video Michael!
Hahaha true! I have found that to be an issue when a bird fly pretty close to the camera. Thanks so much Alex, I appreciate you checking it out!
