Time-Lapse Photography
Time-lapse photography is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. Time-lapse photography can be considered to be the opposite of high speed photography.

A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon a video called Bathtub IV by Ketih Loutit (see video below) on Vimeo. What grabed my attention is that it wasn’t filmed with a normal video camera, but with a Digital SLR and time-lapse photography and use of a tilt-shift lens giving the impression that you are looking at a scale model. Since then, I’ve been facinated with time-lapse photography, and would love to try some myself, but unfortunatly my camera lacks the function. So until I can afford to purchase a new Digital SLR, I’ll have to settle watching other peoples videos.

Today I came across Ross Ching who also does some time-lapse photography. His latest work Eclectic 3.0 is also mind blowing. He using a telescope paning tripod and has some amazing shots. Video below.
