time-lapse photography techniques

Time-lapse photography involves capturing a series of images at set intervals over a period, then playing them back quickly to show changes happening slowly, like clouds moving or flowers blooming. To do this, you set your camera to take pictures automatically at regular intervals, often using a timer or intervalometer. Once all images are captured, they are combined into a video, creating the effect of fast-forwarded motion. Proper stability, consistent exposure, and choosing the right interval are key for smooth, compelling results. This technique allows viewers to observe processes that would normally take a long time in just seconds or minutes.
