How to take time-lapse photography of sunset?

The time-lapse photography of sunset is as follows:

First of all, when shooting day and night, we must first calculate the shooting time, that is, the process from the golden moment of sunset to the end of the whole city lit by blues. How do we grasp this time? Here we will use a more professional software-Qiaojian, and here we can use the free Qiaojian live version.

Usually we will set up the machine before sunset, and the time here is not fixed. Many people are in a hurry to shoot the sunset after work, so we assume that the machine is set to start shooting half an hour before sunset, that is, the shooting start time is 17: 34, and the software can find that the blues end time is about 18: 40.

I usually like to shoot the night scene after the blues 10- 15 minutes. Take shooting the night 15 minutes as an example, then here we can calculate that the time we shoot the machine is 18: 55, from which we can calculate that our total shooting time is about 8 1 minute.

The following is the planning of shooting interval. Generally, we take at least 25 frames as an example, and 10 seconds has at least 250 frames, which means we need 250 shots. If we just need to show this process, of course we can divide 8 1 minute by 250 beats, which is 19s.

Of course, if professional planning is needed, it is obviously impossible for a picture of 19s to clearly record the details of the sunset. Be sure to serve the details here, and try to control the shutter speed at around 5-8s.

Personally, I usually set the shutter speed at around 8s, unless the sunset changes greatly in sudden weather. If the sunset changes greatly, in order to record the details better, I will set it for 5s or even faster.

Of course, in order to record more details, we also need to take more photos. Here, you must calculate the number of photos, check whether your memory card space is enough (local tyrants who are not short of money to buy hard disks can consider taking one photo every second), and then take photos.
