About The Author

Richard Harrington has had a long relationship with media. When he was seven, he was grounded for using magnets to rearrange the picture tube on the family’s 13-inch color TV (it works but don’t try it). He has since gone on to many more interesting adventures.

math

You lost me on the math. You divided 1800 by thirty (which I get) but you don't assign a name to the answer of 60. Then you divide 60 whatever by 30fps ("30 fps"... is that what's required to make a video?) Lastly you didn't mention how many total shots to put into the intravalometer. This is probably time lapse 101 to you, but I am a neophyte (and apparently dumb). Thanks, and I do like your videos. Keep them coming.

Shooting Mode

Shot the whole thing manual. Exposure setting vary depending on shot. Typically 1/4 second.

Manual, AV or TV?

I understand the concept of turning off Auto ISO, Focus...but for the subject used in your video did you use manual exposure, shutter speed priority or aperture mode? What were the settings used in that shot sequence? Since it was so late in the day would you ever consider using a Grad ND?
