What is time-lapse shooting?

Time-lapse photography, also called time-lapse photography and time-lapse video recording, is a kind of shooting technique to compress time, and it is also called time-lapse video recording at present.

It takes a group of photos or videos, and then through photo stitching or video frame extraction, it compresses the process of minutes, hours or even days and years into a short period of time and plays it out in the form of video.

In time-lapse photography video, the slow change process of an object or scene is compressed into a very short time, showing a strange and wonderful scene that is usually imperceptible to the naked eye.

Extended data:

Time-lapse photography can be regarded as the opposite of high-speed photography. Time-lapse photography is usually used to shoot urban scenery, natural scenery, astronomical phenomena, urban life, architectural manufacturing, biological evolution and other topics.

Digital SLR can shoot large-resolution images. The resolution of high-definition video is 1920x 1080, which is more than 2 million pixels, while the mainstream digital SLR images are all 1000 million pixels, and the full-frame machine even reaches 20 million to 30 million pixels.

High pixels greatly improve the quality of delayed video, far exceeding many professional cameras. At the same time, high pixels also leave a considerable space for post-processing, which is easy to produce the effect of pushing, pulling and translating the picture.
