  1. I have just uploaded a terrible sunset time lapse — LOL — BEFORE watching your tutorial. So now that I know my mistakes (which was pretty much everything!!), I have watched your video and will try again when I have a chance. Thank you for your very specific recommendations and tips!

  2. Greetings from Chicago, Illinois, Awesome video! Check out my channel at: "time lapse videos by donald granger" of time lapse music videos of thunderstorms, moon rises, sunsets and snow melting. More will be coming soon.
