*Would you like to know more?* Yes, yes I would.

[@Streaml1neJMoose]

Yea definitely want more depth on this!

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

Please, may I have some more? For example, how can I control exposure if I want to do a multi-day shoot of plants growing? I'm also interested in hyper-laps.

[@SkateEverythingProject]

Yes, love to know morw about day to night timelapses!

[@jochenkraus7016]

Yes, more of that

[@yeowenqi]

I so wouldn't mind something like a mini-tutorial series.

[@rebbel67]

Yes, please, day-to-night time lapses explained!

[@cameraconspiracies]

I knew Jordan was a member of fight club ;)

[@kylosalvesen]

Shhh! Rules 1&2

Made my day 😂

[@benclark1423]

I usually don’t give a rip about video/time lapse stuff, but that shot down by the water was incredibly cool.

[@RowlWool]

Awesome video! I love timelapses and want to learn more techniques, but also more about editing!

Great episode! Thank You! Here is one vote for more advance techniques! :)

[@jimmygimbal]

I love these two.. but I hate math. Jordan got some good camera time in this video. Hell ya.

[@AdriatIcasr]

Definitely yes! Please bring us the advanced techniques tutorial as well as post-production techniques. Thanks for the great video.

[@thomasrussell758]

Yesss! More please! Definitely wanting to see more day tonight, and de-flickering

[@franciskwok3515]

Excellent introduction to time lapse. Yes, yes, yes. . . more in-depth videos, please.

[@chengdong9251]

Amazing as always, please have Chris and Jordan around forever.

[@guyjordan8201]

Yes, I'd like more of this. Multi axis motion control, specific work flow for different camera systems, thorough planning of a sequence vs trial and error... even telephoto astrophotography and use of zoom in time-lapse. Don't fear the math!!

[@JosephDTranPhotography]

I don't even shoot timelapses but you guys did such a great job of breaking it down I'm genuinely interested now!

[@lorgar87]

Yes more please! I am a small pentaxian blessed with integrated time-lapse features XD

[@kacheric]

Really great introduction to the subject and I also enjoyed the discussion of more advanced possibilities. We love to see more on this subject.

[@dl1966x]

Would definitely love to see more day to night and then night to day timelapses - especially how to process the images so that the transitions look smooth and natural. It is easy to do when it is all the same light, but when those changes happen it is very difficult. I would be very happy to see how to do that :)

[@RegCoulter]

Thanks Jordan and Chris. Yes, I want to now more and see you provide more instructional videos along this line.

[@KarlMarkusAntson]

Would like to see more for sure! Night to day/day to night timelapses are some of the most incredible pieces of video ever!

[@AnandaGarden]

This is sooooooo helpful. At the start I was prejudiced against timelapses because they are so often done to excite the human nervous system and not express any kind of reflective meaning or beauty. But wow, y'all, this was perfect. Thanks for doing grown-up videos that are packed with information and don't try to impress or rock us out with "music" that is really beer cans being fed through an Insinkerator. Ok, enough - really grateful for your videos. Yes, please, more videos about timelapses.

[@cactustweeter2890]

Yes please. Show us more time lapse scenarios and advanced techniques.

[@chengduFTW]

A loud yes for part 2!

[@Alexander_Timonin]

Comments are disable for all videos uploaded after this one. Good work DP Review! Shutting down the community will do wonders for your subscriber count!

[@dekonildo]

I would definitely like a detailed time-lapse video. Thanks for the all good stuff. Cheers!

[@timwithers2866]

Best camera related channel on KZbin ever! I’d definitely like to see some more in depth tutorials on time lapse and other ‘forms’ of photography 🙂

[@HakanBayndr]

Another video with advanced techniques would be very welcome indeed. :)

[@canofnothing]

This was incredibly helpful and made simple. I would love to see more advanced stuff!

[@donnaadams9491]

Yes, please do more. I really enjoyed this.

[@NiazMahmood1977]

Loved to see more videos about timelapses

[@NatPhoto56]

Love to see more on time lapse advanced techniques AND more on processing the files / footage when put together. Great job guys!

[@derekmidgley]

Thanks heaps for this one. Would definitely like to see day to night and/or night to day time lapses demystified because those really get me!

[@jimbean532]

This was sooo helpful!!! Thanks, Dale! Thanks, Jordan! Thanks, Trashcan! ;) Yes, would love more time-lapse.

[@PaulAmicucci]

I look forward to your video's, always informative and entertaining. More please !

[@Wyllies11]

Love these technique episodes guys keep them coming!

[@sdyates2001]

Yes, more of this. My goal is to shot at least one scene next year to include a night scene in time lapse.

[@priyavrat5960]

Great video and I very much look forward to see more time lapse photography video

[@alexanderverdoodt]

Yes,more of this please and thank you.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Love me some timelapse. Been doing them professionally for the last 6 years now!

[@Eugene-Braack]

Haha Matthew, can't believe you watch other peoples' timelapse tutorials. Classic.

[@digitizedlight]

More like this please... more time-lapse and slo-mo! Cheers!

[@MrCyborg29]

Love to see more!!

[@davidweber3574]

I've seen some of your other videos and enjoyed them, but this one made me subscribe. Nice work, guys! I'd love to see another one that gets into how you handle white balance for long shots - either day-to-night/night-to-day or just days with a lot of variation between sun and clouds.

[@jamesfroese9232]

This was excellent! I've been looking for info like this! Yes, would love to learn more!

[@Rad_Travels]

A very good one. Please more of this type of videos. Thanks

[@ivandyap]

Adding my vote for a follow-up video covering more advanced techniques, pls.

[@bmkq2007]

Yup would love see more about time lapses

[@CineMobilePodcast]

Night to day for sure!

[@tedjensen8841]

Great information, thank you Gentlemen. More on this topic would be great.

[@guitarwinds]

Great vid, first look at how these shots are actually done. Very informative, would like to see more

[@kashyusaf9260]

Yes please. More!

[@mrgoteman]

Would love to see more on this. I find it particularly difficult to wrap my head around shot to shot exposure throughout daytime timelapses, especially with clouds moving in and out in front of the sun, etc.

[@lenneavy]

Great! In your next vid you could add a minute or two about this type of hyperlapse, where you move around the place with your camera.

[@blacklizted_]

Would you like to know more? Yes, yes !!!!!!!!! MORE ADVANCED TIME LAPSE TUTORIALS PLEASE. And Recommended DLSR's / Mirrorless Cams for Astral Photography is possible

[@massimilianonball]

Yes please ..day to night (and viceversa) timelapses tutorial would be a great idea!!

[@Parklaneworks]

Yes please, more on timelapse photography!

[@matthewneiman]

Day to night timelapse tutorial would be sooo good!

[@djrbfmbfm-woa]

yup jordan, more advanced techniques...........excellent, btw. j.

[@Crotoua]

Brillant. Yes, more advanced techniques please !

[@ryanehoward]

Oh... Day to night or vice versa would be very cool to see.

[@StewartMarsden]

Definitely want more of this guys, and please go into more depth

[@Maczthedrummer]

Definitely interested in night to day time lapses!

[@adrianbenson2521]

Definitely would like to see more

[@gmartinezcabrera]

I always like your videos. Even if I’m not into the content, I watch. This vid was really interesting. You guys are both excellent teachers. Thx!! Ps. I’d love to hear more about post workflows. For time lapse and for video in general.

[@SaifanTaruc]

Great tutorial! Please make more of these!

[@matteomicozzi1661]

Definitely more!! Great video :)

[@kentchambers8642]

Thanks for the info guys. I would like to see more, especially day to night transitions.

[@bodkinsbestphotography]

Would love to see some more in depth videos about timelapses. Particularly benefits and drawbacks to full manual control, or aperture or shutter priority modes when making timelapses. Also benefits and drawbacks to stitching everything together in camera like the D850's timelapse mode. Thanks!

[@arashiphotoandvideo]

Almost fours years, am I the only one waiting for the next time-lapse tutorial?

[@MichaelTapel]

Yes! I want to see more please!! especially how do you manage the focus and exposure correctly on changing environment like in the shot at 11:20

[@ezagog1971]

Great video. It would be great to watch and understand the most advanced techniques..

[@pleeproductions]

I would love to see more!! Especially when the lighting situation changes. Also it would be cool to see some tips about astrophotography!

[@xXAngelmlXx]

Amazing video guys, I loved it.

[@Makbet666]

great stuff guys i would love to see more about that ....!!!!!!!

[@briansmith8507]

That quick EOS R shot 😂 don’t know why Canon and Sony refuse to include internal Intervalometers...

[@juandenz2008]

Yes I want to know too. It seems like something that is very simple from a software perspective.

[@nattydj8646]

Sony has had a simple one you can download (for free?) for a while, but it's simply called a "Time Lapse" app and is far less flexible than what Panasonic has.

[@bikecommuter24]

Actually My Canon 7Dmkii has it and my SL2 (200D) has time lapse movie but I too wonder why they don't include this feature. my Sony a6000 its app I have to buy.

[@vacationviking]

Love your tutorials guys!

[@algoriddim]

Hej guys, I definitely would like to hear more about changing light conditions. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos.

[@bobcartledge5250]

Nice! Thanks, guys! Part two is going to be the back end, I assume? Actually building it in... whatever you build a time-lapse in?

[@jimclay4775]

My compliments for an excellent video offering a broad overview of a subject about which I am very interested. My hope is you will produce future videos that offer detailed, specific recommendations for: further details of post-processing, including software and recommended minimum computer hardware requirements (RAM, disk storage, video cards, etc.); time intervals between photographs and shutter speeds for various time windows (say comparing a short, moving traffic time lapse to changes in scenes over periods of time that might reach a day or more); and more general night sky photography of stars and planets moving against a terrestrial foreground (similar to aurora photography but presumably with a few wrinkles). These additional suggestions would build on this video. Thanks for this informative and well-made video.

[@shockwave268]

LRTimelapse offers really powerful tools like deflicker (correcting natural aperture variations) and scaling your RAW edits gradually between keyframes. I'm not aware of any competing software which offers similar capabilities.

[@alanbrunelle7828]

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ALL ABOUT TIMELAPSES YOU GUYS KEEP IT SIMPLE AND ARE GREAT TO WATCH

[@PaulBawby]

Loved your video on timelapse and I'm not afraid of math... Please do a follow up on more advanced timelapse techniques!

[@arrykitting7682]

Yes more on time lapse guys ... night to day, day to night, and example on night star time lapse 😊

[@andrear9500]

Great ! Yes I want more of that!

[@danieldougan269]

This was great. I definitely want to learn more about this.

[@PeeHooo]

Of course we would like to see more. Tutorial on day to night and night to day transition would be awesome to see.

[@Ranblv]

Definitely want more.

[@C0keAguila]

i love to learn more of timelapses!!

[@sambochen2010]

Beer & Coffee FTW! 😎🙌

[@EdFrancis-JellyRabies]

Dear God yes! I'd love to hear about the night to day stuff and more about settings. Do you stick with a program, shutter or aperture priority or full manual with human triggered adjustments as you reach the limits of your settings? How do you smooth out the strobing when you change the settings? In short, yes please for a part two. Pretty please with a Canadian cherry on top. :)

[@robertpearson1781]

Great video guys - you didn’t loose me at the maths break! More detail and advanced techniques would be appreciated. Keep them coming...

[@kirtlenard1111]

Great video! More on this subject please.

[@michaelj7069]

Awesome work.

[@NataelMartinez]

Definitely want to see more, especially day/night transition. Please ? 😁

[@garysanchezphotography]

Yes, more please.

[@thomas_fodor]

Please do more of these videos guys.

[@nickbaltsavias6059]

Yes I would want more of that

[@ErebosGR]

If you have a smartphone with an infrared blaster (for example a Samsung or Xiaomi), you can use an Android app to serve as an intervalometer and control firing your camera.

[@mariacyou9265]

Yes, more please 🙏

[@Blackmagic1o0]

More techniques please , and holy grail time lapse tips (day to night).

[@DanRichardson]

Exactly what I wanted! Thanks guys! 😁
