Timelapse of a dense Indian city skyline from a rooftop, transitioning smoothly from late afternoon to blue hour to night, clouds streaming quickly across the sky, the sun setting behind high-rise buildings, windows and streets lighting up one by one, traffic turning into light trails on a flyover in the foreground, locked-off camera, crisp detail, rich colour
Tips for better results
- 01List the stages of light in order ('late afternoon to blue hour to night') so the model knows it must pass through all of them.
- 02'Light trails' only look right with a locked-off camera — don't add camera movement to a timelapse.
- 03Name a specific city for recognisable landmarks, but expect them to be approximate.
