Testing The Sony A7RIV For 4K Time lapse Photography

In this video I share how I create my time lapse video clips. First I shoot a simple static shot of sunrise and then later on I share how I set up advanced 3 axis equipment to create motion in the shots. Thanks to Sony Alpha for loaning me the a7siii to try out and film this video with. As well as the A7RIV to use for timelapse. The video is not paid for or sponsored.

Always a pleasure to watch your work and hear your thoughts and tips together in such a chill style.

Had as always a lot of pleasure admiring your images but also having your perpective on time-lapse and photography. Utah looks amazing. Good luck Michael!

It takes so much work to create a video like this. Please keep up with the good work. Cheers.

That headlamp in the beginning, I was like what the heck is he wearing that for 😂 Another great video Michael! The landscape is so impressive.

[dandoodle]

you make it look so easy mate! Yet inspiring to learn and watch

[gregorsnell]

Looks like an amazing landscape for patterns and foreground cracks. Another great video Michael 👍 that last TL at the end was sweet. Glad you re-shot it with better clouds/light.

I was just through that same area back in June. For me the best part of that kind of terrain is the amount of interesting features you can capture in a single shot. If I go to a beautiful forested hillside, most of my view is going to be obscured by trees and foliage. Which can be nice in it's own way, but it doesn't compare to the breadth of the vistas the moab desert gives you access to.

Thanks for sharing some of the setup portions. I have gone through your entire tutorial and enjoyed it, I put it to use each time out. I really liked the Sony built-in intervalometer, I found it to be easy to setup and very accurate, especially for scenes with no motion control.

Thank you for showing off another gorgeous location in my state!

[villegijon]

Your videos are inspiring. Thank's for sharing them with us ❤️

I really liked your video. This is the first time I have watched your video. I went out there a couple of years ago and I drove by the Butte. At the time I was not impressed. Since then I have watched several videos and now I realize how awesome the Butte and that area as well. I am planning to go out there next year. Thanks for sharing your video.

Thank you so much - it is so amazing to see how you did it and so inspiring

[onyaonya]

You're amazing! Your timelapse videos several years ago inspired me to learn more about landscape photography. Now I'm doing the first steps in making videos, and your artistry is a true benchmark for me! Thank you!

Very well done. Michael ! As a Utah native currently marooned in New Jersey, it made me homesick !

[stevepenfold]

Another great vid, that last timelapse looked simply stunning

[talvardi]

So clean and relaxing Mike! These scenes and vast landscapes really remind me of the Judaean Desert in Israel. Thanks for sharing your experience as always!🤙
