What equipment is needed for time-lapse photography? How to shoot?

Auxiliary equipment: timing pay-off, delay tracking, lens filter, equatorial plane, etc.

The shooting interval varies from a few seconds to a few minutes. Please refer to the time interval of all kinds of time-lapse photography:

1, fast moving clouds in windy days: 1-2 seconds.

2. Slow cloud: 5- 10 second.

3. The shadow of the sun moving on the ground: 10-20 seconds.

4. The track of the sun on a clear day: 20-30 seconds.

5. The state of the stars running in the sky: 10-60 seconds.

6. Close-up of the sun at sunset: 1-2 seconds.

7. City people: 1-2 seconds.

8. Plant growth status: 5-40 minutes.

The process of machine shooting time-lapse photography is similar to making StopMotion, which connects single still pictures in series to get a dynamic video. Long-time freeze time delay shooting. Also known as low-speed photography or fixed-time photography, "time-shrinking" photography. A means to record and reproduce the slow changing process of the scene with obvious changing images at regular intervals.

For example, it takes about 3 days and 3 nights for a bud to bloom, which is 72 hours. Shoot one frame of it every half hour, record the subtle changes of flowering action in turn, shoot 144 frame at * * *, then show it with a projector at normal frequency (24 frames per second), and reproduce the flowering process for 3 days and 3 nights within 6 seconds.

Matters needing attention in time-lapse photography:

1, stability is overwhelming. Be sure to fix the camera firmly on a solid tripod to avoid the camera shaking due to wind and other reasons, which will lead to shooting failure.

2. Avoid unnecessary sundries from entering the screen. If shooting on the road, in order to prevent pedestrians from entering the picture, the camera must be placed away from the sidewalk.

3. Prepare enough spare batteries and memory cards. Time-lapse shooting usually takes several hours or even dozens of hours, so it is necessary to prepare enough accessories according to the length of the required material. If conditions permit, it is best to turn on the alternating current to shoot.

4. Pay attention to the protection of the machine. Because it takes a long time, in order to protect the safety of the camera and avoid the damage caused by natural and human factors, we must pay attention to taking good care of the camera when shooting in time delay, and avoid exposure and low temperature at the same time.
