Time-lapses
A time-lapse is a technique used in photography to show a sequence of images taken at fixed intervals over a period of time. It can be used to show the progress of a long journey, the growth of a plant, the changing of the seasons, or the construction of a building.
Time-lapses can be created with a digital camera, a video camera, or a smartphone. To create a time-lapse with a digital camera, you need a tripod and a cable release. To create a time-lapse with a video camera, you need a tripod and a means of transferring the images to a computer. To create a time-lapse with a smartphone, you need an app that will allow you to set the interval between shots.
