Is time-lapse photography difficult?

It's not difficult if it's just a ten-second time-lapse photography without aesthetic feeling.

But if you want to do it, it is natural to look good. Let's just say what time it is.

Aesthetics: understanding of composition, basic skills of art.

Equipment: As the other two said, two or three pieces of equipment are enough. First of all, the lens needs to be equipped with various focal lengths, from wide angle to medium telephoto. The quality of the camera must not be too bad. Even if the equipment is three yuan, it will cost more than 50 thousand to win, not counting the loss of equipment and various accessories.

Patience: A complete time-lapse photographic work will not be a single shot, whether it is shooting city scenery or Shan Ye scenery. You have to climb tall buildings, walk across mountains and rivers, find plane seats, wait for the weather, get up at 3 am to watch the sunrise, and even spend the night in Shan Ye. The shooting process is basically staring at the camera, and it will be ruined in case of wind and rain.

Post-production: If you take a 1 sec, 24 frames of 3-minute delay photography, you need 4320 photos. This is just a reference number. Can you guarantee that every photo you take can be used? The ratio of film to waste film is 10: 1 even the master who often plays time-lapse photography. Screening, sorting order and editing video are the later knowledge of another field.

Confidence: I think this is very important. Even if we can overcome the previous conditions, if we can't use a photo because we took it for a day, should we doubt ourselves and try our best to stick to it?

At present, few photographers in China can work with the spirit of artisans, at least I am the kind of person who insists on giving up for a few days, haha.

I wonder if the owner has seen the Tibetan starry sky shot by domestic photographer Wang Zongyuan. If not, you can search it. The post-90s photographer's work took him a year to complete in Tibet alone.
