Using BYE for timelapse photography

[galileo]

Timelapse is great fun and the results are very rewarding.

 

As Canons don't have an interval timing feature I use BYE to do that for me.

A couple of settings tips ........

 

Make sure the time appears before the temperature in the filename template or the frames will be ordered by the sensor temperature not chronologically, very annoying that one.

 

Make sure you don't shoot in RAW, set the quality to 'in camera' and choose a low res otherwise rendering your timelapse will keep your computer busy for quite a while.

 

Go and give it a go

Let's also add:  Don't plan on using LiveView Planetary Capture.  The Camera Sensor will be Severely Heated - possibly Overheated to the point the Camera will Shutdown - definitely so much that it'll have massive Thermal Noise.  And, likely still not enough Motion / Rotation that it would produce a pleasant Time-Lapse...

Not sure I agree with the camera quality comment.

 

The Lightroom <--> LRTimelapse Pro workflow can take advantage of the raw quality, plus if you have a adobe certified GPU and driver Lightroom can use GPU hardware acceleration to speed up the processing.
