Time-lapse is a photography technique that captures a series of images at set intervals over a period of time. When these images are played back at normal speed, they create a video that shows changes that occur slowly, such as the movement of clouds or the blooming of flowers, in a much shorter duration. This technique allows viewers to see processes that are usually too slow for the naked eye to perceive. The process involves using a camera, often equipped with a timer or intervalometer, to take photos at regular intervals. The resulting images are then compiled into a video format, which can be edited for length and effect. Time-lapse is commonly used in various fields, including film, nature documentaries, and art, to illustrate the passage of time in a visually engaging way.
