Thread: wow how do they get this sort of clarity

Yep, they have come a long way since they moved from film to digital.

The timelapse shots are just long exposure (1-2 seconds) at f2.8 or something similar. And shot in RAW. With this long exposure you will get better definition from the shot. Also some of the shots have been photoshopped slightly, RAW would also let you raise the clarity of the image in post. Each 5 second shot would be 30mins - 1hr of constant shooting put together at 30fps ot 24 fps.
Most mirrorless and DSLR cameras are cable of making shots like this with practice. I have been doing timelapse for about 5 years now.

Here is my 2013 compilation working on my 2014 one now.
