TIMELAPSE Pro and Cons
Timelapse sequences can be beautiful, amazing, fascinating, revealing, and so on.
Here some cons:
Cityscapes with fast moving/flouncing people, vehicles, greenerie as trees and bushes.
Such sceneries looks rather annoying and stressful. Not to mention silly.
Landscapes with beautifull cloud formations and a completely flouncing foreground with peolpe vehicles trees and so on.
Lakes/Sea the same problem, because a fast moving shivering water surface looks very strange and queerly. Exeptions: if the water surface is waveless and it looks like a „mirror“ The problem is that one can not often see sea-shores like „mirrors“
Whereas lakes often are flat with no waves at all!
And some pros:
blossoming flowers and plants. You need some knowledge about the different „speeds“ of blossoming flowers! For example a crocus opens very fast, in about 1-2 hours. A rose needs much more time!
Landscapes: Sunrise, sunset, moonrise/set are very rewarding subjects, presupposed that there are any trees, peoples vehicles in the foregound! Amazing clouds as cumulus and an approaching thunderstorm!
Firmament: The milkyway and the stars are also very nice subjects to shoot in timelapse..Without any moving subjects in the foreground! Trees which wobbels in the wind doesn´t look god at all in a timelapse sequence
Others: Imagine following scene: A chalet without snow. Then it starts to snow and little by little the snow on the roof begins to grow. Not really an option for poeple which livs in rahter warm regions
Frostwork on windows looks also very interesting as a timelapse!
Nature: A butterly emerges from its chrysalis, a snail comes out of its shell, a spider builts its web,
maggots are becoming flies...And there are many other very slow things which happens in the nature!
Science: to show very slow proceedings, as for example a metal plate which becomes rusty.
These were only a couple of thoughts about timelaps shooting! What are your thoughts?
BTW, if there are spelling errors or grammatical mistakes please forgive me...My native language is german, Swiss german
cheers and happy shooting
