Nikon 50mm 1.2 AI-S Sunset Timelapse with Lumix S5

[NerdyTimelapser4 3]

I mostly take timelapses, and while I usually use a Lumix 20-60 (very nice versatile lens), I'm now trying out my primes. This is taken with my beautiful Nikon 50mm 1.2 AI-S I bought second hand in Seoul a long time ago. No filters or lenshood, mounted on a fulframe Lumix S5 with an Urth adapter. Location is the 'Valkenburgse Meer' in Valkenburg, Netherlands. It's near my house, so I often bike there to take sunset timelapses. The image above is a frame of my timelapse, I love the result myself.

Here you can see the full video:

A beaut time-lapse showing us that sunsets are great, wherever you (and the camera) are at the time

Yeah it is so tempting to just bring that 20-60, since it is versatile, small and light. But it is really nice to be a bit more restricted sometimes and have a fixed focal length. Those vintage lenses are also just so beautiful and smooth to focus

Watching the cloud reflections in the water was a real treat! Did you stop down or shoot wide open?

Thanks a lot! Yeah I forgot to mention, I stopped down to f8 and kept it at f8 during the full timelapse. I'm planning to do some testing for the nicest settings, and go trough all my vintage lenses .
