What settings do you guys use? The light is constantly changing so I am not sure what settings to use.

timelapses where light is constantly changing such as sunsets are really hard to limit flickering, but using Aperture priority and deflickering software are really the best ways to deal with it.

its pretty simple, underexpose for a sunrise, overexpose a bit for sunset

first 2 shots and last shot

its a real big game of guess and check. your first few probably wont work, but you'll get the hang of it quick

Thanks guys! Im thinking about doing one tonight. Would I be able to expose for day then when the sun goes down expose for dusk and then crossfade them together in post? It depends on the sunset but sometimes there is a "second sunset" after the sun sets.
