    I know this is a sort of how long is a piece of string question…

    But just wondered what settings have people used to get a nice eg. day to night shot with the HDX900.or any camera for that matter.

    Have also heard it said its better to shoot some things,like evening to night straight and speed up in post?

    Thanks

    aloha robin,
    i was wondering if you got any help with you time lapse question? i recently did a time lapse of a sunset for a mainland production company. i believe i set the frames at rec 1 frame with a pause of 7 frames for 40 minutes which came out to approx 5 min. total record time. it looked killer. but i did sense i was makin the machine work hard. i think the true deal with time lapse is what effect fro what subject? being here in hawaii i do time lapse with clouds, so i have to keep the clouds flowing, not jumping. i have done some othe time lapse that has a more herky jerky feel in city or traffic shots that has a kool look. the sony ex-1 has fixed settings for their time lapse and whatever the smallest increments of rec/pause time 2frames to 1 sec paused i think. and that also is acceptable for cloud flow/ though it doesz make them move fast. anyway i hope this helped a bit.
    aloha
