time-lapse photography

Time-lapse photography is a technique where a camera takes a series of photos at set intervals over an extended period. When these images are played back quickly, it creates the effect of time moving faster, revealing changes that happen slowly or gradually, like the movement of clouds, flower blooming, or sunset. This method allows viewers to observe processes that are usually too slow to notice in real time, offering a condensed, visual story of ongoing natural or man-made events.
