At Rockport, on a tripod, on manual mode, I captured ~500 images over a 30 minute time period. I edited and synced in Lightroom, exported small JPGs, and then created a slideshow in LR. https://youtu.be/TbiVueyBBUw

Timelapse
I recently saw a program by the nice and talented Joe LeFevre. He re-inspired me to try timelapse photography....

Topaz Spring sale, 40% off Storewide!, ends May 7th
Most of you know that we just love the Topaz plugins! We use Clarity, Adjust and/or Glow on many of our images. We also love Detail, LensEffect, and StarEffects even though we do not use them as much. Remask is awesome for selecting subject and for compositing. heir Noise Reduction plugin is the BEST, it reduces noise just as well as other noise reduction software, but without making the image soft.
