Alaska Winter Solstice Timelapse

Fairbanks, Alaska, U.S. – Winter days are cold and short. This timelapse compresses 3 hours, 40 minutes into a video 1 minute, 15 seconds long. The interval between images is 10 seconds. The view is south toward the Alaska Mountain Range. © Eric Muehling. All rights reserved.

CAMERA: Images were shot in RAW format using a Canon EOS 70D camera. Camera settings: Image preview off, Auto power off Disabled, ISO Auto range 100-800, Av, F8. The Canon camera had a 2-battery grip to extend battery life.

LENS: Tokina F2.8 11-16mm lens set at 14mm on manual focus (infinity).

INTERVALOMETER: Vello Wireless Shutterboss.

EDITING: Raw images (5472x3648) @ 20mb were converted to lower-resolution (1920x1080) jpeg using Adobe Lightroom. Post production with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere.

The outside temperature was -6 degrees (F). The camera and intervalometer were inside an insulated, heated plastic tub. The lens extended through a hold cut into the side of the tub. A 12-volt (deep cycle) vehicle battery kept a light on inside the plastic tub to keep the camera and intervalometer warm. The temperature inside the tub was 6 degrees (F).

I hope these technical details help you to make a good timelapse video.
