Hi wud,
Yes, it's simply that I'm trying to follow a workflow and particular method that is alien to what I normally do. When trying to get correct exposure at night I tend to have rough exposure settings in my mind, shoot a few test shots, check them on the camera's display and change settings accordingly. You really do have a lot of leeway with night shots.
With this new method, however, I'm asked to base the exposure of each photograph on the meter reading in the viewfinder. Difficult. It's all a learning process!
Cheers,
Chris
We all get stuck sometimes. Hope you'll get an idea of what you need for the shutter speed, and that you will post your timelapse in here sometime. It looks soooo amazing, timelapses.
