Understanding Timelapse Photography

What is Timelapse?

Timelapse is a photography technique that involves taking a series of photographs at set intervals to record changes that take place over time. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster, thus compressing time.

Applications of Timelapse

• Documenting natural events (e.g., blooming flowers, sunsets)
• Construction projects progress over time
• Scientific research (e.g., geological changes)
• Artistic videos capturing the essence of time

How to Make a Timelapse Video?

1. Choose a subject and plan the shooting intervals.
2. Use a tripod to keep the camera steady.
3. Set your camera to take photos at regular intervals.
4. Compile the images using video editing software.
