Timescape Details

Date & Time:
2025-10-02  16:48:44 to 18:00:32 (tz +0900) daytime to nautical twilight 🇯🇵

Nbr of Images taken: 680

Interval:
6 sec

Images used:
All images were stacked with lighten and average, for daytime, golden hour, blue hour and nautical twilight.

Composition method:
Each stack of lighten and average were merged so that mostly the sky was lighten to show the movement of the clouds and the foreground was averaged to remove all the random noise of white dressed people and cars creating noise.

For blue hour and nautical twilight, light trails were left in.

the right houses are from the daytime. The river and sky are from the golden hour, the left houses were from blue hour and the tower and its reflection were from nautical twilight.

This is the most artistic cutting method so far not following a simple slanted stripes approach.

For the accompanying timelapse all pictures were used. See my instagram post

EXIF: Canon EOS R5mark2, lens RF 16mm f2.8 STM, f9, iso 100, s 1/500 to 10s, EV -1.0 to protect the highlights of the tower illumination (Aperture priority mode)

Instagram: TBD
