DJI Pocket 2: Timelapse Take 3

Time Lapse: Kuala Lumpur at Sunset

It had been quite a while since we last worked on a time lapse video, so we decided it was time to try again. Just like before, this would be a short and simple post—letting the visuals do most of the talking.

Third Time’s the Charm

This marked our third attempt at time lapse photography, but this time, we wanted to capture something different.

Instead of our usual angles, we focused on the Kuala Lumpur skyline from a new perspective, watching how it slowly changed as day turned into night.

The Setup

For this shoot, we used the DJI Pocket 2, setting it to capture:

  • One frame every 3 seconds
  • Over the course of one full hour

We timed it carefully to include:

  • 30 minutes before sunset
  • 30 minutes after sunset

A Little Experiment

We also decided to experiment with an ND32 filter—something we hadn’t tried before in our previous time lapse shoots.

We were curious to see how it would affect:

  • Light exposure
  • Motion blur
  • The overall mood of the footage

Watching the City Change

As always, time lapse had a way of revealing things we didn’t normally notice.

The slow fade of daylight, the gradual glow of city lights, and the shift from warm tones to cooler hues all came together in a way that felt almost magical.

Keep It Simple

This time, we kept things straightforward. No long explanations. No complicated setups.

Just a camera, a skyline, and time doing its thing.

Until Next Time

We’re still learning, still experimenting—but that’s part of the fun.

More time lapse attempts are definitely on the horizon.

Stay tuned! 🌇✨
