HDR Time-lapse Workflow for Canon 60D
Planning
Typical Scenes | Recommended Interval |
---|---|
Fast moving clouds Moving traffic Drivelapse (shooting while driving) | 1 second |
Sunset / Sunrise Moon near horizon Slow moving clouds Crowds | 1-3 seconds |
Moving shadows Sun or moon acrossing the sky (wide angel without clouds) | 15-30 seconds |
Stars or star traces | 15-60 seconds or more |
Fast blossom flwoers Fast growing plants | 90-120 seconds |
Construction site | 5-15 minutes |
Camera (Canon 60D)
- set the camera on a solid tripod
- turn OS off
- connect a intervalometer to the camera
- focus on your subject with AF, then turn AF off; or just use manual focus
- set to manual (M) mode
- set shoot mode to High-speed multiple
- set image quality to Fine (jpeg only, no RAW if you experience slow buffering )
- select image aspect to avoid crop in post-process (16:9 for video)
- set WB to a manual mode according to the shooting condition (Daylight, Shade, etc.)
- set ISO based on lighting and noice tolerance
- set aperture based on the required DOF (see note below for avoiding flickering)
- set shutter speed based on the required proper exposure
- take a test shot, and check the exposure histogram and depth of field
- if for HDR, set bracket (ABE) to +/- 1Ev, 2Ev or 3Ev depending on scene, adjust the under/over exposure scale
- take another test HDR shot (see Intervalometer setting for one shot), and check the histograms of the 3 shots
- create a new folder for this time-lapse session
- Other optional settings
- turn Beep off
- turn Image Review off. And also cover the LED screen off.
- turn Auto Lighting Optimizer off
- keep the same exposure for each shot,
- shorten interval between shots whenever possible,
- keep f/8 or wider when possible. Smaller aperture (< f/8 or further) may cause shutter not going back to the exactly same position for each next shot, thus causing artificial flickering.
Intervalometer
- Delay (in seconds): A delay to release shutter of the first shot. Normally set to 0.
- Long (in seconds):
- in regular mode (M), it is the time enough to cover 1 shot. Set it to equal to or a liitle longer than the shutter exposures time;
- in HDR mode (M), it is the time enough to fire all 3 shots. Set it to equal to or a little longer than the sum of shutter exposures of the 3 shots;
- in Bulb mode (B), it is the time to hold the shutter open.
- Interval (in seconds): it is the time between two shutter releases. (Note, for HDR, one release has 3 shots). An Interval should be typically set at least longer than a Long plus some processing time for camera to clean the buffering.
- N: the number of shutter releases. Considering each will consume at least Intervalseconds when you calculate the total time for completing the shooting session.

HDR Time-lapse Workflow for Nikon D80
Planning

Camera (Nikon D80)
- set the camera on a solid tripod
- turn VR off
- connect a intervalometer to the camera
- focus on your subject with AF, then turn AF off; or just use manual focus
- set to manual (M) mode
- set shooting mode to Continuous (multiple shots)
- set image quality to Fine (jpeg only, no RAW if you experience slow buffering )
- set WB to a manual mode according to the shooting condition (Daylight, Shade, etc.)
- set Multiple exposure to ON
- set ISO based on lighting and noice tolerance
- set aperture based on the required DOF (see note below for avoiding flickering)
- set shutter speed based on the required proper exposure
- take a test shot, and check the exposure histogram and depth of field
- if for HDR, set bracket by pushing BKT button while thumb dialing to turn ON ABE bracket to 3F
- keep pushing BKT while index finder dialing to adjust the stops (0.3 weakest to 2.0 strongest)
- take another test HDR shot (see Intervalometer settings), and check the histograms of the 3 shots
- create a new folder for this time-lapse session
- Other optional settings
- turn Beep off
- turn Image Review off.
- turn Exposure Compensation to OFF
- keep the same exposure for each shot,
- shorten interval between shots whenever possible,
- keep f/8 or wider when possible. Smaller aperture (< f/8 or further) may cause shutter not going back to the exactly same position for each next shot, thus causing artificial flickering.

- N: the number of shutter releases. Considering each will consume at lease (Long + Interval) seconds when you calculate the total time for completing the shooting session.

菊花台
从拍摄一小盆菊花来看一大片人生
闲来翻看两年前拍摄家中小小一盆菊花照片,想给这一套作品配上生动的音乐。突然想起了《菊花台》。《菊花台》是电影《满城尽带黄金甲》的片尾曲。方文山作词,周杰伦作曲。我特地选童丽的琵琶伴奏版,觉得更加适合照片中那朵朵菊花纤细的花瓣。制作完后,居然发现主题并不是我的照片,而是这首优雅的词,动听的曲... ...

茶香 The Scent of Tea
茶香
The Scent of Tea
一缕茶香 醒山林
青山鸟语 风也摇曳
一杯新绿伴知音
笑谈古今多惬意
唐时风 今时雨
茶经流转了光阴
杯中诗 谁倾听
荡漾了茶色的涟漪

關雎【詩經 · 周南】
關雎
【詩經·周南】
關關雎鳩,在河之洲。窈窕淑女,君子好逑。
參差荇菜,左右流之。窈窕淑女,寤寐求之。
求之不得,寤寐思服。悠哉悠哉,輾轉反側。
參差荇菜,左右採之。窈窕淑女,琴瑟友之。
參差荇菜,左右芼之。窈窕淑女,鐘鼓樂之。

两个不同世界之比较
有这样两种世界,那是怎样的不同?
请听:
【绝对的权力需要绝对的“拥护”作底气;绝对的统摄需要绝对的“一致”作护身。一个时代的灾难,正是在惊人一致的“坚决拥护”下受孕的;一个最坏的决议,正是在不加思索的“全体通过”中分娩的。】
【他不要让人们记住他曾经是个总统,让他感到欣慰和感到人生并非虚度的是他从事过心灵的创造,是两个历史文件的作者和一个学校的创办者。他是美国的第三任总统——托马斯·杰弗逊,他亲自为自己撰写的墓志铭是这样的:“这里埋葬着托马斯·杰弗逊,他是独立宣言的作者,弗吉尼亚州宗教信仰自由法案的作者,弗吉尼亚州立大学之父。”这句镌刻在石壁上的话一点儿都没有提到自己任过美国总统,但却在每一个看到和读到的人心中闪着光,光华超越了每一个擅长吹嘘自己成就的人。杰弗逊是人类基本权利——生存权利与自由权利的发现者与护卫者,在他一息尚存的时候,想到的还是这些天赋的权利。】
