Good evening everyone. Next week I fly off to Iceland for four days and I'm hoping to tick something off my bucket list and see the Northern Lights.
I've been looking at so many videos on Interval Shooting as id love to do a timelapse but be able to edit each photo of the Northern Lights if they make an appearance.
What I've read is that I should be looking for is a Long Shutter speed 10-30 seconds, if I go down the middle and say 20 seconds then that's 3 shots per minute. If I ultimately want to end up with a 30s timelapse playing at 25fps that's 750 photos which according to an online calculator will take over 4 hours to complete!!!
I guess I'm after some advice here regarding the shutter speed and whether I have this all wrong.
If someone on here has been able to create a timelapse of the northern lights, I would also love to know what settings they used.
