By now you folks know about my obsession with sunsets. Had a pretty good one today. Hyperlapse and unedited. First real clouds other than thunderheads in some time.

Nice. What was the duration of the hyperlapse?

Well done. Glad to see you are using the hyperlapse.

22 min @ a pic every 2 seconds. Free hyperlapse.

I've got to try that. I'm surrounded by trees, but if I get up a couple of hundred feet I can get a good sunset hyperlapse over the gulf of mexico - I'm only a couple miles from the water.

I should mention that I use manual camera settings to improve color and get the effect desired. I launch to altitude then adjust them for the lighting/focus.

For focus did you just slide to infinity?

I'm a camera enthusiast also (Canon 7D) but I've got to admit I am still daunted by the mechanics of flight, and I haven't taken the camera off auto since I got it. I'll problem go to Aperature Priority when I do as that's how I run my SLR. Little nervous about getting focus right with what I can see in the iPad screen - not an issue for a sunset picture though. I have investigated the peaking threashold feature to help with focus.

I tap and hold on the horizon mostly. Focus at infinity also works.
