Time Lapse Techniques
· 3 min read
There's lots of high quality timelapse out there — one of the best is Morten Rustad (@morten.rustad). If you are starting from scratch, start there. The typical approach is capture relatively slow moving phenomena at 1-120 frames per hour and then running the frames at standard frame rates - 24-60 frames per second. Motion is fluid and properly blurred by keeping exposure coverage of at least 25%. So if you capture 1 frame every minute, the exposure should be 15 to 60 seconds. This is readily achieved using ND filters without compromising other exposure settings.
