- Choosing the best exposure for the next four hours is hard.

- frame the shot for 16:9, so you don't lose anything when you crop.
- set the image size just a little bigger than your intended final output. I forgot to do this, and was taking huge photos. I would have had twice as much time lapse if I'd remembered to adjust the image size. On the plus side, it made it possible to crop
