How different is shooting for Timelapse compared to normal still photography 초면에 사랑합니다 다운로드?
Timelapse is very similar to landscape still photography, but very different from all other forms of still photography. With other forms of photography, you have to worry about lighting and actors and placement of objects. With timelapse, you let the scene run its course.

Your Eclectic series is a real delight to any Time lapse fan with brilliant visual compositions 은혜 아니면 다운로드. Can you tell us story behind the series and how long you took to create it?
Eclectic3.0 : The Roads Less Travelled
My thinking behind the series was that I wasn’t going to simply make the same thing more than once. So you’ll notice that in 2.0 I incorporated motion and in 3.0 I included tilt-shift. The goal was to make something truly unique, and at the time, I was the only one making things like it. Each video took me at few days, but 2.0 took longer since i travelled to different parts of the world to capture it.

Time Lapse shooting is not easy and requires a lot of patience, what is the longest you had to sit up while shooting a Timelapse?

What are the things that goes into planning before you hit the road for making a Timelapse ?
My number 1 planning tool is Google Maps. It lets me scout all the locations before I drive out to the spots. Some locations are so remote that it’d be unreasonable for me to go all the way over there to check if the shot will work or not. This way, I can see a map, a satellite view, a terrain map, and sometimes a street view 넥서스 5 유심 다운로드.

Time lapse is all about science and mathematics – Any pointers on how to choose ideal frame rate, shooting time, based on what we want to achieve eventually ?

You had recently been to Ecuador on a shoot, anything that you can share regarding the work and the info about Timelapses that you did there in particular ?
Ecuador was an intense shoot. We were in the Amazon jungle for a week where it was hot and humid with mosquitoes then the 2nd week we were at 9000 feet. The speed in which I had to set up some of these time lapses was crazy because of our hectic schedule. The extreme environments definitely took a toll on my equipment. I had a camera fail because of the high humidity and I had to come up with improvisations to make other shots work with a different camera.
