Hi folks, above is my first day to night timelapse. I did it in 30min with 4sec interval.
Manual mode
F2.8
ISO 600
shutter 1/50
AWB
lens to manual focus
5D2
jpeg large
colour corrected in Sony Vegas

IS AP better? I only have a simple intervalometer. I read here that bulb mode is better but I like to master something easier before i go there. I am thinking, I should have set a slower shutter for more details. I tried an earlier shot which saw the clouds more but the buildings were dark.

Should I use an ND filter + AP mode for better results? I like the night scene to really pop but I read AP is not as smooth.
Thanks and btw i learnt everything about timelapse from here!

Looks pretty darn good. You got as much out of a manual jpg exposure as you could there...

Av will probably introduce flicker.

Here's a lot of information: viewtopic.php?f=40&t=1871

Thanks! I'll go try Av as well.
