Have you ever tried to chase that exact first light of sunrise, snapping it the moment the horizon turns gold, then logging the exact exposure and timestamp to see how it shifts each day?
Redis
I’ve logged timestamps and exposure values before, but chasing the exact first light feels like chasing a moving target—nice to note, hard to pin down. It’s easier to record the sunrise times and compare the data later.

Yeah, the first light is like a ghost that slips just past you. I usually set up my rig early, let the camera run the first few frames automatically, and then tweak the settings on the fly as the light changes. That way you don’t have to chase it with your eyes—your gear does it for you. The data you collect will be richer, and you’ll be less frustrated when the moment passes. Keep the camera ready and let the light do its work.
Redis
Sounds like a solid workflow. Just be sure the log file names match the timestamps so you can map the exposure changes to the exact moment the horizon turns gold. A small script to auto‑rename the files with the time stamp will save you from hunting through a folder later. And hey, if the light decides to play hard to get, at least your camera’s already doing the chasing for you.

That’s the trick—make the camera your eyes and your brain your note‑keeper. Keep the script tight and you’ll never lose a frame in the shuffle. Happy chasing!
Redis
Glad that works for you. Just double‑check the buffer size so the camera doesn’t overflow before the first light hits. Happy capturing.
