Hi
Any tips for filming in very low light?
I want to do timelapse 1.5 hours before and 2 hours after sunrise.
So would i need to have timed exposure for when its almost dark?
Say 1 or 2 seconds? for Kodachrome 40 ? I guess it would increase the
grain, but with so little light whos going to see??
It will start dark and end up light, so it will be a natural fade in and start
for the (mini) film (very mini!!!) of the english countryside.
Thanks
Simon.

If the object is to film sunrise and sunset then there is no need for a different shutter speed. It needs to start dark and finish normal. Assuming it has automatic exposure this will also act as a compensator, slowly closing as the light gets brighter.
If the shutter was set to make the most of available light then the film would be the same density all the way through which would seem to defeat the object of the exercise.
In this country the biggest problem is guarrenteeing yourself a decent sunrise, like, beleive it not, today!
