What is time-lapse photography?
You have probably seen examples of time-lapse photography in action without realising. Have you ever seen a sports stadium fill in a matter of seconds, on what looks like a video on fast-forward? Or clouds moving extremely fast during the course of a few minutes of video? These are examples of Time Lapse Video.
Putting it simply, Time-lapse photography is a series of photographs taken over a period of time. The period of time is usually defined by an event, such as a sunrise, the construction of a building or product or an event or concert.
When you watch a time-lapse video it is a series of still images that have been edited together to give the perception of a fast moving video. The images are put together in such a way that certain ‘gaps’ appear to make events look like they are happening faster than they did in real life. The timing and number of these ‘gaps’ usually depends on the environment that you are shooting.
Time-lapse photography is that process of taking the pictures that can then be edited to product the time-lapse movie. Time Lapse photography is usually carried out with a high resolution (better than HD) quality camera. The camera is usually connected to a PC or laptop that helps monitor and store the images. Again, depending on the environment the camera will usually take a picture every 3 or 5 minutes.
