HDR TIME-LAPSE PHOTOGRAPHY

Beautiful time-lapse photography is formidable enough to achieve, but attempting it in HDR (high energetic range) photography adds another covering of complexity as was finished here successfully in France (Normandy & Britany). This equates to the photographer has to take bracketed photos at different bearing levels for each sold frame, and then post-process those bracketed sets into HDR in a way that the lighting stays unchanging so something called “flickering” does not start due to fast changes in lighting in in in in between the video frames. This new video has combined a lot of contention in in in in between photographers because it is such a formidable technique to master. Take a impulse and enjoy:

This video was combined by Tanguy Louvigny on Canon 400D and 60D digital SLR cameras along with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens. Louvigny palm made a 3 pivot suit control supply to control the delayed transformation of the camera. The HDR print sets were tone-mapped with Photomatix (see below). The post-processed print sets were edited into the video using Adobe Premiere & After Effects CS5. And we think Louvigny also privately stoical the song for this video using a Roland mc-808 Sampling Groovebox.

I was privately blown divided by the law suit supply he combined for this project. It’s coming is pretty intimidating to contend the least. It is formed on Tetrix Robotics (tetrixrobotics.com), interestingly enough tranquil by mindstorms section – a multiplication of LEGO (mindstorms.lego.com), and automatic in Robot C (robotc.net). Here it is on location:

Questions Answered by the Photographer:

• Are you using a 3 joint shot or more?

3 shots sequences, 3 f-stops spacing on 60D, it’s enough to get enough energetic operation in most situations (well, more would be better but would need more time in in in in between moves).  The suit control has to stop in in in in between each pierce to give enough time for the bracketing process to finish, it’s law automatic to do so…

• Can you yield more sum and price report on your extraordinary suit rig?

A lot of time and bid Seriously it costed 1 Tetrix pack starter set + ressource set + Tetrix encoders + mindstorms set + some aluminium rods and 2 x 547b tripods to resolutely insert them (and a camera !) So all enclosed may be 2k € or so (those kits are way more costly in Europe than in the US !)

• Can you exhibit your Photomatix 4 settings to equivocate flicker? I find it tricky, infrequently it functions well with nearby to default settings, but many times flutter is too strong. Can you share?

Sure ! we have no undiluted resolution to equivocate flicker, but here are my (usual) settings in Photomatix:
Strength 70
Color sat 80
Luminosity 0
Microcontrast 1.0
White point vary, usualy around 0,800%
Black point rsther than low, 0.030% or so
Micro-smoothing 5.5 when too much noise
I try to minimize flutter when shooting, and use Msu deflicker to heal serious flutter in post, that’s it !

• How long on normal does it take to constraint a process on location?

Each take is about 1 1/2 hours genuine time dense in 10 seconds or so.

•  How long did it take you to emanate this extraordinary video?

 It’s a gathering of assorted shots, so let’s contend it took me a year!

•  Would you have any tips for us per nightfall and sunrises?

 No sold tip for sunsets solely bearing bracketing as it helps means good sky liughtness changes…i do not fire many sunrises, much more formidable to grasp in my opinion.

•  How long did it take to set up your law rig?

 Worked a month on the first derrick chronicle with lots of hearing and errors, but it wasn’t stout enough so i reworked it to make this 3 pivot slider (this was the easy part)!

•  Did you have to take 3 bracketed shots into in to Photomatix each time you were creation a support or was there a bulk process to you do it. Meaning, in sequence to emanate a second of video at twenty-four frames, did you have to move 3 bracketed photos into Photomatix twenty-four times in sequence to emanate one second?

 Yes thirty times for one second of video, but programmed with collection mode estimate in Photomatix
