Oceanside Pier Sunset Timelapse

A test timelapse video. Not sure yet on the best way to deal with changing exposure during a long time exposure. Using an automatic mode (Av, Tv, P) results in too many large exposure swings due to passing clouds, while controlling the exposure manually in small (1/3-stop) increments as the light diminishes, as I did in this test, still results in noticeable brightness changes in the final video. Perhaps they are somewhat unavoidable, but I would like to get the exposure changes to be smooth and as unnoticeable as possible. Much to learn.

Be sure to select 1080p otherwise it looks pretty bad.

Great video, thanks for sharing that. It looks like the sun was setting behind you?

This is fantastic phil!
you say you have "much to learn".....but I dunno, this looks pretty accomplished to me!
can I ask how long (in real time) this timelapse represents?
very cool stuff!

It is about 90 minutes and 1400 frames. The sun was setting just to the right of the frame.
