What is time-lapse photography?

Time-lapse photography is a photography technique that takes images or records videos at a lower frame rate, and then plays the pictures at a normal speed or faster. So time-lapse photography is not just taking a single photo, but a dynamic image, that is, a video. In time-delayed video, the slow change of scenery or objects will be compressed into a very short time, presenting a strange and wonderful scene that can't be detected by the naked eye at ordinary times. Then time-lapse photography can be regarded as a shooting process as opposed to high-speed photography.

Time-lapse photography is simply divided into three categories:

1 fixed position delay

2 Large-scale delay

3 electronically controlled track delay

Ayu Ayu Time-lapse Photography Equipment List

First, a camera or mobile phone, a stable tripod and a delay line are released. In terms of cameras, Nikon cameras have this function, which is called interval photography or interval photography in the menu. Sony micro-single doesn't have this function, but you can download an APP called time-lapse shooting and shoot with this Sony camera. The basic version of this APP is free and there are paid overseas versions.

Shooting is easy to handle.

Confirmation of interval time

The method of time-delay shooting and my personal use of Sony micro-single shooting time delay, then what is the usual interval for time-delay shooting?

When shooting time-lapse video, I won't let the time-lapse video exceed 15 seconds. If a very wonderful video lasts more than ten seconds, the audience will feel bored!

How to set the camera when shooting?

Interval time is very important for time-lapse photography, which ensures whether the time-lapse video is coherent and the length of the film. So first I set the interval. If I shoot the sunset during the day, I will set the interval to three to ten seconds.

When determining the interval, determine the shooting duration. Then determine the shooting time. I will take time-lapse photography when I shoot the daytime, blue sky and white clouds at intervals of two to five seconds!

If the delay of shooting the sunset is set to about six seconds to eight seconds, I will choose the interval of 25 seconds or 30 seconds when shooting the starry sky. It is very common for us to take time-lapse photography with a SLR camera.

Post production process

In time-lapse photography, a large number of photos will be recorded. What format will we use to record these photos? I suggest that you must use RAW format to record them. RAW format can restore the effect you want as much as possible in post-processing. There are four post-softwares * * * used. First of all, I will use the light room and retouch photos in batches. LRTimelapse is a software mainly aimed at dealing with photo flash and too many photos. PR is to process a large number of pictures into videos. Finally, AE software can be used to do advanced flash or even anti-shake processing on the pictures.

How to manage your materials

When we fought back, we used a lot of time-lapse shooting. When we want to make a work, we need to classify all the materials of this time-lapse shooting. I will divide them into many small folders, and each folder will have the same material. For example, I photographed a sunrise and a sunset today. I will put the sunrise in a folder and the sunset in a folder. For example, I took two documents on March 22, 20 16. Then I will put the materials taken in the morning in a folder named YS Delay 20 160322, and then set the sunset folder to YS Delay 20 160322- 1. If I have other materials taken at noon, I will set them to YS delay 20 160322-2 and so on, and sort them in time.
