How to use time-lapse photography?

1. Secure the cable release with a shackle.

The use of cable release plays two important roles in time-lapse photography. First, the cable releases the built-in timing function, which can generally save you the trouble of taking pictures regularly; Secondly, the hand is liberated from the camera shutter, which reduces the terrible fuselage jitter. However, if you just wrap the cable around the tripod casually, or throw it aside after connecting it, even a breeze may shake the cable, causing a slight vibration of the camera, which goes against the original intention of using the cable and tripod.

Solution: Fix the cable releaser on the tripod with a shackle to avoid the long cable releaser dangling in the wind or winding the photographer's arm.

Carry a notepad

Or take notes on your mobile phone. In short, there must be a carrier that can record some things at any time, such as camera setting parameters. This software can synchronize the information in the mobile phone and the computer. It's like carrying a photographic database with you.

4. With a little red light

This is a tip for shooting at night. It is obviously difficult to shoot in the dark. This small lamp can provide weak illumination outside the shutter opening time. This gadget is especially useful when shooting stars, because only by minimizing light pollution can we shoot the best celestial photography. Red is very conspicuous in the dark, and the image is the smallest for the camera sensor.

Unless you are a professional photographer who shoots with nine cameras at a time, you will definitely face a long waiting time. So it must be right to prepare some entertainment equipment.

6. Keep warm when shooting in cold weather

Not only you but also your equipment needs to keep warm. Wear more clothes, and you will sweat when you go indoors; Put on another coat when you leave the house. Remember, time-lapse photography won't give you a chance to walk around and get warm. As soon as you sit down, you will sit there for hours.
