I made the time stack by combining 143 photos into one image. Here's a quick and easy Photoshop tutorial of the process I use to make time stacks. https://youtu.be/oTfp47jTzWc

Which version do you like better? The top (single frame) or the bottom (time stack) There's a good amount of trying to predict the future, and just hoping for the best when it comes to timelapse photography. My prediction wasn't great this night, as I set up my camera looking north-west, towards the setting sun (seen in my previous post) but the best part of the sunset happened in the south-western sky, so I stopped the timelapse mid sunset, reframed the shot, tweaked my camera settings, and shot the timelapse I took this shot from. That's why this timelapse and the previous one are shorter than usual, which you can see on my instagram @MattMolloyPhoto

"Ice Bulb"

Here's an idea I've been trying perfect for a while. This is much closer than my previous attempts, but I think it could be better. One thing I did to get better clarity is boiling the water first, but I think using distilled water might work help too. Another thing that helped with clarity this time is that most of the water didn't freeze. I'm not exactly sure how thick the ice is, but you can see a clear line showing where the ice changes to water. It's near the neck (bottom) just above the dark spot (which is air bubbles) If you watch the timelapse video (on my instagram page @MattMolloyPhoto) and look closely, you can see it cracking a bit, above and left of center. The photo is a composite of two photos from the timelapse. The bulb is is near the beginning if the timelapse, when the sun was still peaking over the horizon, and the rest is a photo taken closer to the end of the timelapse, to make it look a little more lightbulb-like.
