Hello from Leiden, Netherlands!

Welcome! My daughter is living in Leiden at the moment!

I also love sunsets and would like to do more timelapses. Here's the only one I've done so far:


Thanks! Guess your daughter is in Leiden to study. I went there to go to university and never left haha, such I nice small city.
Love your time-lapse, such a wonderful evening!
 
How do you set exposure for a day? Manual/fixed iso? Highlight weighted?

I have the camera on full manual, multi-zone metering and underexpose about 2 stops to not clip the sky too much. The S5 has no problem recovering the foreground, even on electronic shutter :). I usually use iso 100, f8, and keep increasing shutter speed until about 2 seconds (4 seconds interval). After reaching 2 seconds exposure I start increasing iso/opening the lens. In this case I had an 6 stop ND filter, but that got me into a bit of problems when it was getting dark. I liked the long exposure times though to blur the people walking by.

I've done only a few timelapses, but I did them in Aperture Priority mode, center weighted, 5 seconds interval.
I was also quite happy from the results: this is an example at a sunset (Lumix S5):


And this an example for a sunrise (S5iiX, after about 35 seconds):


The second video also has fireworks in het (difficult to record, but I think it turned out excellent)
