Time-lapse photography is a technique that captures a series of images at set intervals over a period of time. When these images are played back at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster than usual. This method is often used to show changes that happen slowly, such as the blooming of a flower or the movement of clouds across the sky. To create a time-lapse video, a camera is set to take photos automatically at specific intervals. The resulting images are then compiled into a video format, allowing viewers to see the passage of time in a condensed way. This technique is popular in nature documentaries and artistic projects.
