Thanks to Harold for allowing us to embed his videos!

Harold has been on The Fotobug podcast and we will be inviting Harold back again in the future!

LRTimelapse and the Holy Grail

Jim — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:43:51 +0000

The “Holy Grail” of time-lapse photography is the ability to successfully record a sunset or sunrise and be able to maintain the changing exposure. Gunther Wegner’s LRTimelapse is a program that allows the photographer to correct the changes in exposure that are necessary. It also has the ability to correct minor exposure variations which can cause flicker in the final video. In addition my blog post at www.elusiveimage.net – I would like to share this instructional video that Gunther put together. You will need Lightroom in addition to LRTimelapse, but the program is brilliant and highly recommended!

In this tutorial you will learn to master the best way to shoot and process day to night (and night to day) time lapse shots using Lightroom and LRTimelapse 2. This workflow can be used with Adobe Camera Raw and LRTimelapse as well.

Please check out lrtimelapse.com for further information.
If you never worked with LRTimelapse please make sure to watch the Basic Tutorial first!
