HDR Timelapse in Tapada de Mafra Portugal


Here's a multi-bracket HDR time-lapse of the natural reserve in Tapada de Mafra, Portugal.
I shot this in a part of the reserve where wild hogs run loose. It was the time of year when they had piglets following them arround which made them extra dangerous. At one point while the camera was clicking away and I was sitting on a rock wall just outside the frame I saw a group of them approaching. Fortunately I wasn't in their way and they just peacefully passed by.

I am not a big fan of multi-bracket HDRs these days, especially with the rather surrealistic blending modes I was using back in 2011 when this kind of thing was fashionable. Cameras have also evolved since then and it's possible to get considerably better dynamic range in one shot without all the temporal artifacts created by multi-bracket HDR composites.

If you have created any time-lapse, hyper-lapse or stop-motion videos, recently or in the distant past, do consider posting them to the Timelapse Zone Community. I hope more photographers, videographers or content consumers in the 3speak/Hive universe (and beyond once there are more active users) find the hidden patterns of time as mesmerizing as I do.
