Not familiar with the intervalometer settings on the D500, but I assume its the same as on my D610 and D5300. That said, I just tried to set up my D610 with the settings you describe, and it wouldn't work. Which didn't surprise me. Looked at the Nikon manual, and as you experienced, it was no help, so I looked the manual for my Vello II Shutterboss, and it stated: "Choose an interval time that is longer than your exposure time." Makes sense, doesn't it? A 20 second exposure would require a 21 second interval setting to achieve the one second lapse between images.

The relationship --or interaction-- of elements in an image are what create 'the story.' You've told a story. Nice shot!

I get this 'halo' from time to time as well (largely due to post-processing), and its really a PITA, isn't it! While there are several ways of dealing with it, the most effective way I've found of eliminating it is, in Photoshop, select the sky tones (or the rock tones, whichever is most convenient, then invert the selection), then Select> Modify >Expand (usually 2 pixels is sufficient, but results tend to vary), and using a clone brush, go in and eliminate the halo as needed.
Don't know where you live, but if you're from way far away, Welcome to Canyon Country. Monument Valley is (just) one of the sublime places around here. No idea what was being filmed while you were there, but I've worked on a few shoots in the area. They were a lot of fun.

You're in the heart of great country!
Yeah. I've noticed. When you next get down this way, gimme a holler. (Don't let us both being named 'Jim' cause us any confusion, though.)

Damn, I got mixed up and don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that...thanks for straightening me out. I'm with you as I really enjoy the Reef and need to get down there again, hopefully soon! What area do you live in? I'm in Sandy on the Draper border. 
I'm in Moab.

Fun stuff. Love the Swell, and maybe moreso, the Reef. ('Lone Warrior' is on the south of I-70, though, a couple miles away from your shot of the 'Head of Sinbad' panel.) Greetings from a fellow Utahn.

I like these sorts of shots, so: Nice! Post-processed in Topaz Impressions (or something similar)? Kinda wish the close-ups were crisper, but that's just me. Well done!

A genuinely fine set of images. Good to see work that shows what post can do. Kudos! Big time!

Gorgeous! I am just wondering what you and others would think about cropping a bit off the bottom-maybe showing about half of the rock formation or is the mass good? Whatever, it is fascinating!
No disagreement here wrt possibly cropping a bit out of the bottom, did so while exploring a number of possible crops in post, but compositionally settled on the pictured result. Nevertheless, anything can be improved, right?
