Newbie Time lapse

I haven't done any real bulb ramping myself so i'm not much of a resource, but what camera are you using?
And what kind of transition are you looking for? A sunrise with an acceptable range of exposure or are you trying to capture a timelapse that is several hours long and includes astrophotography/nightshots transitioned into full daytime shots?

I am doing some research on Bulb Ramping in ML. Let me try it and post a video here.
There are so many things to learn in just one particular type on photography!
Edit: I've tried with ML Bulb Ramping but failed. :'(
The picture will always be over expose (ie white image).
Not sure what I am doing wrong but here's what i tried.
1) Take a picture that i think it's right (ie aperture, shutter speed, manual focus and WB)
2) Turn on the Intervalometer and Bulb ramping
3) ML does calibration (the S curve)
4) It lets me choose the tone range from the picture i took (here's the problem)
- I tried 50th percentile and the camera will start taking pictures but it will be over expose (white image)
- I tried other percentile and it will still take over expose photos
- It would take 3-4 pictures before it returns to normal/acceptable pictures

I found this yesterday and it may be of some help to you. This guy's work is amazing. I know I'm going to give it a go.

I am using a 550D. Tried it with Canon 10-22, Canon 24-105 and Tamron 17-50.
I am just looking for a simple transition from sunrise or sunset with acceptable range of exposure. I am still playing around with this but i would love to do astro/nightshots when i can do a better job with the day to night timelapse.

Thanks for the link. Love the video!
I am experimenting with HDR night photography too but I can't see the difference between a normal photo and a HDR photo. lol. Not sure what's wrong.

i think it is more keeping things like iso and white balance and aperture constant... that matters....
